Osvaldas Juška, a Lithuanian painter from Panevėžys, a member of the Lithuanian Artists’ Union, died at the age of 61 after a struggle with a serious illness. LDS Panevėžys Branch Gallery, one of the galleries that exhibited the work of Osvaldas Juškane, wrote about him: “…one of the most interesting contemporary painters, who conveys his view of life in his canvases with humour and with a sensitive and profound sense of colour. At the time, the painter said that “art is more a work of nature and it has never been so easy to paint”, while at the same time admitting that he had achieved this through daily work”. Over many years of creative practice, the painter developed a distinctive style of painting that is unlike any other. The main theme of his work is a poetic and philosophical reflection on the human being. Osvaldas paid great attention in his work to the search for distinctive colours, composition, silhouettes and new forms of expression. He sometimes used different, unusual canvas formats and created compositions on various themes.” The artist did not limit himself to painting, but also created assemblages, collages and spatial objects.
