The Flood

The essential feature of Ciurlionis' style is metaphorical perception of the world. By drawing figurative images of visual reality he tried to plunge into the counsciuosness and subconsciousness of the human mind. [...] The painter used these means to find profound connections between objects, leading into spiritualized macro and micro world, full of living secrets.
