Aidas Mikelėnas

My works reflect urban landscapes, the play of world cities structures, the architecture of metropolises and the shadows of their history. It is possible to see connection of old and modern architecture, not only in architectural forms, but also in the effects of human activity as graffiti, shop signs, water towers.

The works boldly use texture as a form of expression to reflect the effect of construction. Color of works are similar of graphic arts, dominated by white, black, red, and yellow. Expressive strokes are combined with a graphic line, which gives a unique style.

The works depict: images of cities in the USA, Lithuania and other European countries and their interpretations.

Another important creative topic for me is religion. As I work on the restoration of church stained glass, I get a lot of inspiration. Both suffering and peace can be seen in my works, depicting figures from a religious context. The work created with oil paint on canvas or by drawing on various tools on paper.
