Petravicius was born in the country of Lithuania. After winning a scholarship from the Lithuanian government in 1938, he attended the L'Ecole Nationals des Arts et Metier and L'Ecole Nationals Superieurdes Beaux Arts, in Paris. Petravicius taught at the Kaunas Applied Arts Institute, 1940-1941; and the Vilnius Fine Arts Academy, 1941-1944. He also was a member of the "Forms" artist collective. Petravicius? first creative style was lyrical and romantic, revolving around Lithuanian folktales and mythological stories. His style changed when he lived in Germany and he became more affected by the atrocities of war. Later, nude figures became an important component of Petravi?ius' work. Petravicius and his family migrated to the U.S. in 1949 where he later produced black and white woodcuts and ultimately turned to monotype transfer images.
