"K. Česonytė’s paintings are variations on Expressionist painting: characterized by a trembling touch, energetic brushstrokes, and expressive paint textures with which she often seems to 'sculpt' figures, objects, and landscape elements. In terms of genre, the scope of her work is quite traditional. Landscapes predominate, though the artist has also painted a series of still lifes, numerous urban scenes, and the occasional stylized portrait. Yet, other aspects of K. Česonytė’s painting align her less with classical modernist art and more with the imagery of the contemporary, media-saturated world. 'My tools are the computer and virtual space,' she says. The visual imagery in her paintings derives not from reality itself, but from a virtual—or secondary—reality. For this creative artist, however, that serves merely as a springboard or a starting signal that liberates both imagination and hand. In her work, this secondary reality—or a chance motif—and the artist’s imagination most often intertwine inseparably. Images suggested by modern media are transformed into authentic visions, deeply and sensitively experienced by the painter herself."

About this artwork+

The painting titled "Greenfield" presents a textured surface, predominantly imbued with varying shades of green. The brushstrokes create a tumultuous yet harmonious blend of turquoise, deep sea green, and hints of lavender. Instances of pink appear to emerge randomly, breaking the green monotony, resembling ephemeral blooms or scattered petals. The vigorous application of paint suggests a dynamic, living field, hinting at movement as if swayed by an unseen breeze. The textural depth implicates a rich tapestry of foliage, possibly evoking a sense of being immersed in a lush, dense thicket or a vibrantly alive undergrowth in a forest or meadow. The overall effect is organic, almost elemental, inviting the observer to feel rather than simply view, connecting viscerally with the depicted natural scene.
