Vidmantas Jažauskas has written a statement about his art: "I could summarize my creative process with the words of a famous American artist and contemporary realist Alan Katz – "I am one of those painters who just painted while the art world burned..." Also, as in his words – I was only interested in the "universal human content that never changes". In fact, such a position was not formed immediately, because, all the people of my generation (including myself), were effected by the transformation of art forms from modernism to postmodernism, that began after the independence and continues to this day. But thanks to the Internet, I realized that there can not be any contradiction between the words "contemporary" and "realism". Therefore, the artist's temperament, sensuality, the way of seeing his world, the search for harmony and beauty in the surroundings, the humanistic setting, remain the main values of the 21st century.
