Painting in the room
"K. Česonytė’s paintings are variations on Expressionist painting: characterized by a trembling touch, energetic brushstrokes, and expressive paint textures with which she often seems to 'sculpt' figures, objects, and landscape elements. In terms of genre, the scope of her work is quite traditional. Landscapes predominate, though the artist has also painted a series of still lifes, numerous urban scenes, and the occasional stylized portrait. Yet, other aspects of K. Česonytė’s painting align her less with classical modernist art and more with the imagery of the contemporary, media-saturated world. 'My tools are the computer and virtual space,' she says. The visual imagery in her paintings derives not from reality itself, but from a virtual—or secondary—reality. For this creative artist, however, that serves merely as a springboard or a starting signal that liberates both imagination and hand. In her work, this secondary reality—or a chance motif—and the artist’s imagination most often intertwine inseparably. Images suggested by modern media are transformed into authentic visions, deeply and sensitively experienced by the painter herself."

About this artwork+
The painting features a dynamic sketch of a tiger, vividly drawn in striking turquoise against a dark, textured background that resembles a blackboard. The tiger is captured in mid-movement, with its body slightly curved and its tail extended and uplifted. The strokes are bold and somewhat fragmented, giving an impression of rapid motion, or the tiger possibly emerging from the shadows. The artwork conveys a sense of raw, wild energy. At the bottom of the painting, there's an inscription that reads, "had to be a tiger," suggesting a deeper narrative or symbolism tied to the tiger's embodiment or spirit.
