Description from the seller
- BEFORE DEPARTURE -
ORIGINAL Painting, character portraiture by ARVY
The painting is 100% hand-painted using highly pigmented artist-grade acrylic paints, Mixed media, 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: 90x165 cm (entire canvas)
Artwork Overview:
BEFORE DEPARTURE
A final moment caught in stillness. Four figures stand side-by-side on the edge of a threshold, holding their breath before the inevitable shift. Their crowns and jagged crests hover like heavy farewells-symbols of a shared reign about to dissolve into distance. One figure gazes through wide, sky-blue lenses with bright red cheeks; another watches with weary, asymmetrical eyes under a golden crown; a third stares through a striped black-and-white mask with pink lips; while the last exposes a wide, white-toothed grimace beneath a sharp, dark crown. Together, they form an unyielding wall of presence before taking the final step forward.
The warm, golden-tan background creates a heavy, lingering atmosphere, charged by white chalk scribbles, floating yellow grids, and energetic pink marks that dance around their silhouettes. Fading lines and raw gestures drift through the space, recording every last trace of their presence. Nothing has left yet. Nothing is staying behind.
BEFORE DEPARTURE explores the suspension of the threshold-the quiet, pregnant beat right before a journey begins. It is a portrait of collective transition, where identity, history, and power stand fully assembled, waiting for the moment to cross over.

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!
