A R T I S T F E A T U R E M A R I J U S J U S I O N I S S E C R E T L I F E O F T H E C I T Y The breath taking cityscapes of Marijus Jusionis are inspired by the secrets and stories hidden amongst the visible trappings of urban life. His bright and impactful paintings tell these stories and express the changing moods and passing moments of life. He believes that urban spaces and city architecture offer some of the best representations of human natural creativity and are an honest reflection of social customs, culture and lifestyle. The material he draws on is extensive and allows him to examine these themes from many different angles which he finds challenging and ultimately rewarding. Marijus bases his creations on both the seen and the unseen. He builds cities in his own imagination though always with reference to a particular location in terms of architecture and sometimes even specific landmarks. Although he often travels in search of inspiration, he always paints back in his studio in Hertfordshire. Many of his works are drawn from his experiences of London, in particular the Southbank, the City and Hampstead Heath. Marijus had his first solo exhibition in London at Lauderdale House in Highgate. Since then his work has been exhibited all over London and is held in several private collections. 29 ARTIST FEATURE MARIJUS JUSIONIS
