Artwork in the room
"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 presents a vibrant, textured landscape divided horizontally into distinct bands of color and material, each representing different natural elements. The lower section features a lush green field, rich in strokes of varying shades of green, suggesting vigorous, wind-swept grass. Above this, a band of brown simulates a tilled field, its surface marked with lines and grooves indicative of agricultural activity, providing a contrast in both color and form to the greenery below. Further up, a strip of white intercepts, perhaps representing a road or a pathway, its smooth and less textured appearance breaking the pattern of natural terrain. Adjacent to this, a narrow layer of dark soil appears, offering a visual and textural contrast to the lighter strip before it. The uppermost part of the artwork is dedicated to the sky, executed in a tumultuous assembly of blue tones interlaced with white, capturing the dynamic and ever-changing formation of clouds against a bright sky. The painting as a whole captures a scenic view of the countryside, rendered in a thick, impasto technique that adds depth and vitality to the scene, emphasizing the raw beauty and rugged texture of the natural landscape.
