Vidma Wait

Briefly about me by art critic: "The personality of Vidmantas Vaitkevičius, the artist awarded with multiple awards and currently well-known as Vidma Wait not only in Lithuania, but in most of the foreign countries as well, emerged while studying in Kaunas, at Juozas Naujalis Art School – in 1980 he became an award-winner of Lithuanian Young Artists Competition. After successful studies of painting at Vilnius Academy of Arts, Vidmantas Vaitkevičius studied glass at the Academy’s Kaunas Faculty. Later, in 1990-1993 he deepened his knowledge of painting at Leipzig Art College (Germany). The intensively working artist held 47 personal exhibitions in Lithuania, Latvia, the USA, Japan, England, Germany, Norway, Holland, Russia and other countries of the world. Vidma Wait is convinced that work makes a person free. The artist does not confine himself – he has contracts with five European galleries, participates in international symposiums and plain-airs, draws his inspiration from his Homeland and travels to other countries. Currently Vidma Wait lives in the Great Britain and USA in Chicago. Visiting Lithuania the artist organises private lessons for those, who want to master watercolours, silk painting, acrylic painting, as well as wall painting techniques. The works of Vidma Wait feature temples, cities, birds, fish, flowers and other motifs, soaked with shades of goodness and light, which nurture solemn feelings and a sense of fun. What draws one’s eye first are the various colourful abstractions with notably open play of the often glittering outline and fabric – natural silk or canvas. The rules of the game of spacious illusions obtained by halftones have no boundaries – from complete clearness to impossible mystery. In order to create the space of the game the author uses bright and vivacious colours, which give in to the subtle dictate of the fabric. The works of Vidma Wait create an impression of lightness, pulsing with lively impression and good humour, while the sensitive nuances subtly reveal the detailed expressiveness conveyed by loose brushstrokes."
