"My dear Teacher" - this is what many would say who experienced Algirdas Lukštas's watercolor lessons, which turned into performances, at the Kaunas Fine Arts Gymnasium. The still lifes he created (I remember A. Lukšto's light gray jacket with an onion and field bells) spoke about life. And the variations of the sky poured by the Master, with etudes of clouds breathing eternity, speak of the presence of this man even now. Thanks to him, I realized that the painting is also able to continue and has its own invisible life, which can be revealed just as an artist should, saying with his work that on the other side of appearances there is a true reality - the one you believe in. I am grateful to you. Your student Grytė", - painter Grytė Pintukaitė.
