WOODEN ARCHITECTURE – LIKE SIGNATURE OF LITHUANIA 2010-02-02

I contribute to the dissemination of Lithuanian culture by my work and turn attention to some valuable buildings. I paint wooden architecture, its original and outstanding features.

ABOUT TRUST AND “CIRCLE OF TRUST” 2010-02-26

The title of the exhibition of five artists presented in the lobby of Kaunas State Drama Theatre “Circle of Trust” inspired the author of the article to tell about the exam organised by the municipality for artists who were granted stipends: it is the trust in the artist that is missing today the most.
