Rasa Valiene Artwork On Display At The Patchogue Library

Rasa Valiene, an artist from Lithuania, will have her work on display at the Patchogue-Medford Library from now until Feb. 25.

Valiene will be displaying a series of large-scale oil on canvas, abstract and surrealist paintings that invoke an ethereal occurrence.

According to the library's work description, "She is fascinated by the infinite intricacy and complexity of the universe as well as nature and human consciousness."

The artwork, the description says, "transforms the exhibition space to an otherworldly experience in which the viewer can negotiate the relationships between line, form, shape, and color. "

One of the pieces on display, Birth of Amber, is made to evoke feelings of either observing the cosmos or a single-celled organism under a microscope."

It has a rich blue fill, which allows the foreground imagery to pop off the canvas.
