- KUKA & TUTI-
ORIGINAL Painting, character portraiture by ARVY

The painting is 100% hand-painted using highly pigmented artist-grade acrylic paints and finished with a UV-protective satin varnish. It is created on unprimed, firm, robust, and kink-resistant gallery-quality canvas (360 g/m²) without a stretcher frame.
Dimensions: 155x105 cm (entire canvas)

Artwork Overview:

Two crowned presences emerge as if from a psychic rupture, confronting one another across the invisible fault line that separates who one is from who one must appear to be.
One bears the exposed heart — vulnerable, animated, still capable of devotion — while the other reveals the hollow architecture beneath identity, a skeletal remnant crowned with the illusion of permanence.

The title KUKA & TUTI functions as a conceptual anchor, suggesting a relational narrative shaped by contrast, dependency, and shared symbolic space.

Motifs such as the heart, currency sign, and skeletal elements introduce themes of emotional value, material exchange, and existential fragility.

The visible process and layered surface affirm the authenticity and immediacy of the work.
Positioned within a contemporary lineage informed by neo-expressionism and intuitive figuration, the painting appeals to collectors who value narrative intensity alongside strong architectural presence.

This piece offers a distinctive and intellectually grounded addition to a serious contemporary collection.

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.

Thank you for considering ARVY’s work. This portrait is sure to be a standout addition to any collection of modern or contemporary art!
