European Parliament and European Commission, 2013

On the occasion of the Lithuanian Presidency of the EU Council my exposition “Lithuania: nature, people, architecture…” is being shown in European Parliament and European Commission buildings in Luxembourg. I chose to represent my country by these three aspects – its nature and landscapes, its people and its architectural buildings, both urban and rural (altogether 80 photographs). Some photographs were taken some twenty years ago, some were brand new.

Marija and Jurgis Šlapeliai house-museum, 2012

In July‒August my series “Colors of India” was exhibited in Vilnius (Marija and Jurgis Šlapeliai house-museum , Pilies g. 40). This series emerged after my journey to India in 2000. These large and colourful double-exposure photographs depict the life in India which freely pours into the camera and blends into expressive pictures. Different things: the children happily playing outside without any toys, the mundane textures, the animals grazing on the litter and the dignified people patiently doing their hard labour could join into unusual coexistence but the feeling remains that it’s all permeated by a nourishing and supporting harmony.
