The art of Stanisław Bohusz-Siestrzeńcewicz has recently been attracting increasing attention of art critics. He is primarily known for capturing small towns in Lithuania and Ukraine, painting everyday life and the images of reality, be it oftentimes fictitious, or, according to art historian Jolita Mulevičiūtė, a “constructed reality”. Characteristic of him are lively, dynamic scenes and efforts to capture motion in the moment.“The Little Faun” is a completely different kind of painting. With this piece, the artist approaches late 19th–early 20th century symbolism, it shows features of the Art Nouveau movement (also known as Jugend or Secession). The painting depicts a mythological creature known as a faun, sitting by a stream and thoughtfully watching his reflection in the water. The picture is steeped in melancholy, sadness and, at the same time, some unfathomable secret; it emanates a feeling of mystery of life and nature (Text author dr. Rūta Janonienė).
