In terms of form, Kalvis Zālītis consistently approaches a clear and lucid expression; the created overall image, complemented by finely modeled details, is important. The artist's goal is not radicalism, but rather the plasticity of the depicted persons, which reveals a melancholic notation. The play of light and shadow reveals the bodily relief and lithe movement of the majestic characters as much as the gesticulation commenting on the depicted figures or the naturalism of the gaze. The elegant and highly idealized style of expression extends beyond the realistic depiction of things. Fiction and truth, awakening from a fleeting dream, a fusion of pleasure and asceticism.
