Rasa Incerauskaite About the Work and the Artist:
I am delighted to donate the artwork of Vytautas Žilius to an extremely meaningful event. Vytautas Žilius has been one of the most sincere and warmhearted persons I have ever met and knowing him has been a great gift that I have received from life. May this artwork bring happiness to someone’s home and transfer at least a small part of positive energy and tremendously big internal joy which Vytautas always had.
Vytautas Žilius (quoted by Rasa Incerauskaite):
“… I surprise the world. I was not, am not and don’t want to be very important to anyone. I don’t like being praised which I often do not feel being worth of. I paint, draw and read. I like this process. I think that doubting is a value because when you doubt you are not that sure of the correctness of the silly truths. Do you think that everything what you do is really necessary to anybody? And you - is that truly you or are you just someone who you pretend to be? Or maybe you and I are just two sexless beings sitting one in front of another in this world of live dolls and moulages? So…” (Vytautas Žilius).

And I am sure many women will like such a dream!
