ORIGINAL Painting, character portraiture by ARVY

Dimensions: 124x94 cm (entire canvas)

Artwork Overview:

This figure stands mid-impact, caught in the exact second after control slips and before collapse begins. One eye is crossed out, the other wired open — awareness split between refusal and overload. The crown feels unstable, almost volatile, less a symbol of authority than a warning sign: power under pressure, identity overstimulated, nerves exposed. Symbols clash and spark around the body like broken interfaces — cages, lightning, numbers, fragments of systems that once promised order and now hum dangerously out of sync.

There’s a violent innocence to the posture, arms lifted not in dominance but in surrender to the current. Energy runs through the figure rather than belonging to it, as if it’s being used as a conductor for forces it didn’t ask to carry. The colors don’t settle; they vibrate, scrape, collide. What looks playful at first glance slowly reveals exhaustion — the cost of being constantly switched on.

In a space, this work charges the atmosphere. It sharpens perception, disrupts passive viewing, and refuses to fade into background comfort. Over time it becomes a personal totem for overstimulation, ambition, and the modern condition of holding too much input with too little insulation. Collectors seek works like this because they don’t aestheticize chaos — they contain it. Rooted in contemporary neo-expressionist and raw art brut language, this is a collector-grade piece defined by immediacy, symbolic density, and psychological voltage — the kind of work that doesn’t calm the room, but makes it more honest.

Artist Bio:
ARVY is a fourth-generation artist continuing a family legacy of visual and performance art. He studied painting at an art college, graduating in 2016, and has been active in the art world ever since.

Raised in a creative household, ARVY began his artistic path in childhood while assisting his father — painter, illusionist and performer Arvydas Gaičiūnas ( Retne ), co-founder of Magic Theater DiArchy. This early exposure to both visual art and stage performance shaped his distinctive, theatrical sensibility.

ARVY’s work is eclectic and emotionally charged, blending elements of contemporary expressionism, symbolism, street energy, and poetic abstraction. His pieces explore contrasts — chaos and harmony, intuition and control — reflecting the pulse of modern life through vivid color and raw gesture.

He has exhibited internationally and his works are held in private collections across Europe. Beyond painting, ARVY is also known for his creative versatility as a musician and digital creator, bringing the same intensity and imagination to sound, movement, and image.
