Dominykas Sidorovas (b. 1993, Lithuania) is a contemporary painter known for his thought-provoking exploration of everyday objects. He earned his MA at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2020, and his work delves into the ambiguity and shifting meanings of familiar items from personal and cultural spaces. Through his unique approach, Sidorovas challenges the boundaries between reality and fiction, transforming mundane objects by placing them in imaginative contexts where they acquire new significance.
Sidorovas’s work moves fluidly between representation and abstraction, constantly questioning the visual and conceptual identities of the objects he portrays. He engages in a process of deconstructing, deforming, and simplifying these objects to expose their essence. Rather than serving as mere imitations of reality, they become visual symbols that invite the viewer to consider deeper social and cultural meanings.
His reductionist technique, combined with references to contemporary philosophy and art theory, adds a rich intellectual layer to his practice. Sidorovas’s work is a reflection of how everyday objects can transcend their conventional roles, opening up new realms of interpretation and significance.
