About Artist:
Born 1961 in Vilnius (Lithuania)
1980-85 State Vilnius University
1982-86 Vilnius Fine Arts School
Kestutis Jauniskis was born in Lithuania in 1961.
He studied economy at Vilnius University and graduated in 1985 with a degree in MA.
While studying economy, the artist also attended the Vilnius Fine Arts School and graduated in 1986.
As an artist, Kestutis Jauniskis is interested in architectural forms and colour, and their relationship with their surroundings. In his paintings, reality is sometimes mixed with fantasy, which infuses a poetic touch into this rational world.
It is in these scenes that Kestutis Jauniskis finds the shapes, colours, light and sky that evoke an emotional response in him, making him want to record them.
The abstraction of his painting best represents the depth of feeling he has when viewing this real world that surrounds us, finding beauty in what others may consider ugly or mundane.
At the same time, the artist likes to experiment with new abstract forms and objects.
His work has been exhibited in Finland and Lithuania.
He has participated in a group exhibition titled 'The Modern Lithuanian Art' at the Museum of Modern Art in Valencia, Spain.
