Dr Nijolė Tumėnienė notes that R. Bičiūnas is one of the most distinguished and original promoters of the expressive colouristic trend in Lithuanian painting. The motifs range from artists‘ life scenes, inspiring landscapes, mysterious and eccentic women to colourful flowers. The scenes of the reality remodelled by the artist and intertwined with the Lithuanian mythology images, seem like a romantic dream in which life becomes a miracle. The works full of festive spirit arouse optimistic emotions and charm by aimed artistry, theatricality, unrestricted perception of time and space. They are colourful, featured by an improviser‘s freedom, and diffuse vital energy and unrestricted fantasy. |
