Giedrius Kazimierenas

Giedrius Kazimierėnas is one of the most famous representatives of historical painting. “I am interested in art when feeling plays with intellect, with knowledge and logic, and thinking. That sway is the most interesting moment in understanding the experience of a work of art. I would like the viewer to think. It seems to me that art that touches on eternal problems is very good. All classical art goes down that path, from generation to generation, nowhere to run away from it. Man doesn’t fundamentally change. We, the artists, have to raise those fundamental issues with the public. Art has to talk about serious things. ” The artist’s paintings strike in huge formats, many figures, symbols, and masterful painting technique. The paintings give meaning to the phenomena of the history of the Lithuanian state in a very solid language of art, they go beyond the status of a decorative, beauty-giving painting, they encourage thinking, they even have a pulsating life that helps to feel and accept historical truth.
