'In bringing together the celestial and the earthly, the physical and the spiritual, music and painting, the fantastical and the real, the figurative and the abstract, Ciurlionis employed a range of techniques and approaches, including the blurring and blending of forms through light and colour; a layering of lines and colours which enables an interweaving or interpenetration of states and forms; the reversing of forms or states of being, such as sea and sky; and a focus on the horizon as the meeting point between zones or worlds, in which the horizon line often functions as a bridge between worlds.'
