The angel, as a sign of the spiritual world, a guardian, protector, bearer of light and peace, is often seen in the paintings of M. K. Čiurlionis. This symbol is not a stranger in various periods of Nomeda Čiurlionytė's work, but it is in recent years that it has become a predominant theme, carrying a very clear meaning. We all experience the war in Ukraine differently, and this exhibition is the artist's personal reaction to the events in the country where she lives. When Ukrainian soldiers asked her to create amulets to wear in their protective vests, she painted guardian angels who went to the front. These angels took on the symbol of a woman - a mother, a wife, a daughter. They wait patiently for their husbands to return from the war zone victorious. A distinctive feature is the wings of the angels, which take centre stage in the compositions of the works. The angels are trying to use their wings to drive away and cleanse the blackness that descends on innocent people. These angels have no facial features, as the main focus of the paintings is the white, energetic wings of angels. When people are at war, when rivers of blood are spilling, the beautiful angels unite silently and ask us: what are you doing, people? The exhibition will run until 2 October at the M. K. Čiurlionis House-Museum (M. K. Čiurlionis str. 35, Druskininkai).
