The famous psychologist Freud once mentioned in “interpretation of Dreams”that “Dreams are the ‘satisfaction of desires’”. It comes from our lives, neither groundless nor meaningless. It reflects a person’s current state of mind. We obtain reality from non-reality and listen to the voice of another world through dreams, meet ourselves in the parallel world, and realize our wishes in dreams.

Lithuania artist Arunas Zilys has been called as an old man with a magic wand who creates one dream after another, condensed into space and time. Everyone has dreams, but very few of people record them. The work of artist Arunas, is bold and unique, and this artistic style is the combination of the artist’s various forms of point, lines, plane, patterns and colors, etc. He pays attention to the composition of complanation, geometric form. The decorative pattern and the thick color make the work have a dynamic aesthetic feeling, like dreams uses their language to project the real world in non-reality, the thick texture and color expressing exhilarating emotions.Arunas expresses his unique feelings about the objective world with his unique way of thinking and creative techniques, and gives the viewers enough room to think. He opens the gate between dreams and the real world for us. People who stand in front of his works seemed to remember what they remembered, and always could tell different stories and perspectives. The artist uses canvas as a medium to build a bridge of communication and touch us deeply.

People try to explore the rich linguistic signs and meanings in the art of Arunas, through these mixed and contrast colors, to awaken people’s consciousness and explore the “you” of the parallel world, recognize the true self and share your dreams.
