"The Lithuanian painter Audrius Grazys appears as one of the most prolific and original visual artists of his generation. A painter of nearly classical precision and discipline, he also possesses masterful brushwork and quite a sensitive touch when employing numerous elements of artistic expression. An abstractionist painter who never fails to achieve a subtle equilibrium of the logical, strict form and the mystery of human existence, Audrius Grazys seems to be an artist with many faces. We are inclined to think that an artist should be permeated by a single creative method or approach, yet the fact is that the most interesting and puzzling artists often come up with a chameleon-like ability to break the rules of the game and to destroy the illusion of their predictability. This is especially true of Audrius Grazys.  

Audrius Grazys art ranges from abstractionist representation of the fragments of human existence to the volatile and bright colors of mundane reality to beautiful, daring, and sparkling eroticism. A deeply nuanced and rich combination of moderation and hidden passion, his painting is at best when exposing human tensions, ambivalence, ambiguity, and vulnerability. The impossibility of a dream come true, yet the triumph of a beautiful isolated moment of life with a trace deliberately left on the fabric of human sight and perception – this is Audrius Grazys with his carefully hidden sensitivities elegantly subordinated to the form of his diverse art."
