Leather, metal, straw (materials) This piece explores themes of connection and duality through contrasting materials and structures. The metallic surface creates a cold, rigid background, while the central elements of leather and straw add warmth and organic softness. You and Me serves as a metaphor for two distinct yet interconnected entities, reflecting the relationship between opposites: strength and fragility, stability and transformation. The minimalist composition invites the viewer to explore the interplay between form, material, and emotion.

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.
