Wood (material) This piece reflects the passage of time and the traces left by nature and its inhabitants. The hollowed-out wooden blocks resemble abandoned shelters, evoking themes of emptiness, memory, and transformation. Empty Home symbolizes the transient nature of existence, inviting the viewer to reflect on the past lives that once occupied these spaces and the silence that remains. The combination of raw textures and structured composition creates a dialogue between order and decay, stability and impermanence.

1961 , Lithuania

The artist graduated from Kaunas Palemonas Gymnasium and attended Kaunas Children's Art School. Later, they earned a degree in primary education and crafts teaching from Šiauliai Pedagogical Institute. For five years, the artist worked in the studio of sculptor Kęstutis Balčiūnas. During this time, they gradually developed their own creative voice, focusing on woodworks such as crosses, chapels, and caring figures. They have participated in the Klepočiai Art Plenary in Dzūkija, which allowed for further artistic growth and exploration. The artist's perspective on visual art and style was significantly influenced by extended years of work abroad in London and Copenhagen. These experiences, where they contributed to the realization of other artists’, architects’, and designers’ ideas, played a key role in shaping their creative process. Nature and the remnants of human activity—such as details from old furniture, frames, and metalwork—are the primary sources of inspiration. This artist has exhibited their work for two years, with seven exhibitions held in cities such as Kaunas, Marijampolė, Alytus, Vilkaviškis, and Birštonas.
