Full biography Mikalojus Konstantinas ciurlionis

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911) was a talented Lithuanian composer, painter, and writer. Čiurlionis is regarded as one of Lithuania's most significant cultural figures of the late 19th and early 20th century. His works were inspired by nature, mythology, and symbolism.

Čiurlionis had an early interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of four. He studied at the Warsaw Music Institute before moving to Leipzig, Germany, where he continued his studies in music composition and theory. Later, he would study art at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts.

Čiurlionis' musical works are characterized by their innovative harmony and impressionistic style. His compositions often included descriptive titles, such as "In the Forest," "The Sea," and "Spring Sonata." Some of his most notable musical compositions include "Kęstutis Overture," "De Profundis," and "Mazurka in C-sharp Minor."

Aside from music, Čiurlionis was known for his artistic talent. He created over 300 paintings, most of which were inspired by Lithuanian folk tales and mythology. His paintings were unique for their use of color, form and symbolism.

Čiurlionis died at the young age of 35 due to complications from pneumonia. Despite his short life, his work remains influential and continues to inspire artists and musicians in Lithuania and beyond. Today, he is remembered for his contributions to Lithuanian culture and for being a pioneer of Lithuanian modernism.
