Since 2017, Arturas Smalenskas has pursued an independent painting practice focused on abstraction, drawing freely from surrealism, expressionism, naturalism, and cubism. A self-taught Lithuanian artist based in Spain, he constructs his work through intuitive processes, relying on observation, experimentation, and personal discipline rather than formal training. Smalenskas’s paintings are distinguished by their use of symbolic forms and vivid narratives, with each composition shaped by individual exploration and meticulous approach to color and structure. His work remains outside conventional institutional frameworks, underscoring a commitment to independent creation and open interpretation.
