I thought I'll introduce you to an amazing artist who you're probably not aware of - Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis. He's my favourite Lithuanian artist. I love the range of colours he used and the world he created in his paintings.

Extract from Wikipedia:
Mikalojus Konstantinas ÄŒiurlionis (Polish: MikoÅ‚aj Konstanty Czurlanis), also known as M. K. ÄŒiurlionis (22 September [O.S. 10 September] 1875 –10 April [O.S. 28 March] 1911) was a Lithuanian painter and composer. ÄŒiurlionis contributed to symbolism and art nouveau and was representative of the fin de siècle epoch. During his short life he composed about 250 pieces of music and created about 300 paintings. <...> ÄŒiurlionis was a musical prodigy: he could play by ear at age three and could sight-read music freely by age seven.<...> ÄŒiurlionis felt that he was a synesthete; that is, he perceived colors and music simultaneously. Many of his paintings bear the names of musical pieces:sonatas, fugues, and preludes.
Some of my favourite paintings:

More paintings can be found here. As I said before, he was also a composer, search for him on youtube, there are plenty of his works on there.
