Event description
On the shores of Lake Šlavantas, in the Lazdijai district, Veisii municipality, an international plein-air painting workshop is organised every year, named after the lake - Šlavantas. As every year, the residency in the midst of nature brings together well-known artists not only from Lithuania, but also from distant lands. The aim of the participants is to reveal Lithuania as a country of high creative potential, to continue the traditions of plein air painting and to share their creative ideas. During the exhibition, the participants of the plein-air painting session observed and recorded environmental motifs, the scattering of sunlight, and delved deeper into the diversity of natural phenomena, illumination, colours, reflections and reflexes. In their works, they convey the artist's vivid impression and mood, as well as the authentic and distinctive atmosphere of the environment, the season, the time of day, and the impression of space. The exhibition presents painted panoramic and chamber landscapes of Lake Šlavants, as well as abstract and figurative compositions.
