Creativity

Marcinkevičius is noted for his bright colors, with soft lines, often a simplified image. Marcinkevičius's artwork often is created in relation to about the nation's history, state and individual, political, economic and personal gains and losses but he leaves the viewer to interpret his works by painting suggestive art forms.

Portraits

Marcinkevičius notably has been hired by the Danish Royal family and other prominent persons to paint their portraits.

Currently Vilmantas Marcinkevičius led the Lithuanian Artists Union in Vilnius painting section.

gollark: Also differently sized pixels, quite plausibly.
