| According to art critic Grazina Gurneviciute, the artist connects his works and thoughts with his native country, whose rich history, culture and nature awaken the imagination and hunger for cognition. Even in our youth, artistic flair whispered that everything around us has a common genetic code. A. Kliauga developed a coloristic, expressively generalized style of painting and expanded the Arsians’ understanding of nationality in art, emphasizing not only the search for plastic expression, but also touching on aspects of the country’s history, exploring symbols of statehood and archaeological signs of ethnic identity. These themes, reflected in the artist’s works, have taken on a broad intercultural context and acquired guidelines marked by a modern worldview over time. The language of signs and symbols, which gives meaning to the concepts of nationality and identity, has become the main axis of A. Kliauga’s work. |
