Andrius Kovelinas, pittore surrealista Lituano, dipinge la donna giocando con gli sguardi, le apparizioni, gli stati d'animo.

I suoi lavori sono tutti ad olio su tela, ma lo stile e la tecnica non sono per Andrius così rilevanti.

La preparazione - l'idea - è per lui essenziale e richiede molto tempo. Prima di iniziare un'opera su tela, Andrius si crea un disegno su carta. Lui stesso dice di non essere in grado di creare un'opera velocemente. A volte per terminare un lavoro impiega anche 3 mesi. Il risultato è la bellezza e la perfezione estetica.

Fin dal 1980, Andrius Kovelinas ha esposto in Paesi come Lituania, Polonia, Slovacchia, Svezia, Francia, Ungheria, Italia ed Irlanda.

Ad Andrius è stato riconosciuto un importante Premio dall’Accademia delle Arti Anglo-Italiana. Le sue opere sono esposte in Collezioni Pubbliche e Private di tutto il Mondo.
