Unison by Dovile Bernotaite

Unison
Original artwork by Dovilė Bernotaitė

Acrylic, dry pastel and oil pastel on canvas
205 × 155 cm

Unison is a profound exploration of human connection, examining the quiet ways our lives become intertwined while we each remain distinctly ourselves. Through expressive abstraction, Dovilė Bernotaitė captures the subtle rhythm of shared experience—where intimacy, memory and movement exist in constant dialogue.

Viewed from above, fragmented figures drift across the canvas like fleeting recollections rather than defined identities. Some emerge with clarity, while others dissolve into the warm, textured ground, reflecting the ever-changing nature of relationships and the spaces between us. Loose, gestural mark-making preserves a sense of immediacy, while a bold vertical form anchors the composition, acting as both a boundary and a point of connection within the work.

Rich in atmosphere and emotional depth, Unison invites contemplation rather than certainty. It speaks to the balance between closeness and individuality, suggesting that love, comfort, longing and freedom can all exist within the same shared rhythm.

A one-of-a-kind original, Unison is a highly collectible work of contemporary art. Monumental in scale and timeless in its expression, it brings warmth, presence and quiet sophistication to a thoughtfully curated interior, offering new discoveries with every viewing.
