The Gathering by Dovile Bernotaite

The Gathering
Original artwork by Dovilė Bernotaitė

Acrylic and dry pastel on canvas
Sold unframed

The Gathering is an expressive meditation on presence and collective energy. Rather than portraying individual figures, Dovilė Bernotaitė captures the atmosphere that emerges when people come together—how a room is transformed through conversation, movement and shared experience.

Layered brushstrokes and gestural forms merge into a dynamic composition where boundaries dissolve and individual identities become part of a greater whole. Rich in rhythm and texture, the painting evokes the warmth, curiosity and quiet tension that exists within a gathering, creating a sense of movement that feels both spontaneous and deeply human.

A one-of-a-kind original, The Gathering invites the viewer to experience the emotional resonance of connection rather than a single narrative. Timeless and highly collectible, it is a striking contemporary work that brings depth, warmth and sophistication to a curated interior, celebrating the beauty of shared moments and the energy they leave behind.

Every piece available through Cleo Collects is carefully selected and represented as accurately as possible.

For original artworks, antiques and vintage pieces, variations, patina, wear and signs of age are part of the character and history of the piece and are not considered faults. We endeavour to clearly photograph and describe the condition of each item.

If your order arrives damaged, incorrect or materially different from its description, please contact us promptly and we will work with you to resolve the issue.

Our collection includes original artworks, handcrafted pieces, antiques, vintage furniture and contemporary design, and care requirements will vary between pieces and materials.

Antique and vintage pieces may show natural signs of age, patina and previous use. These characteristics form part of their history and should be treated with care rather than considered imperfections.
