Some experiences
& Publications

After deciding to transition away from the Communication Industry, particularly my work in PR agencies, to pursue my path as a Designer and Artist, I received an invitation that drew me back into the communication and marketing. LAPAS, my favorite publishing house , offered me the position of Head of Communication and Marketing. Despite my intention to depart from the industry, I couldn't resist the opportunity to collaborate with authors whose work I had followed since my te

I remember this experience as the ‘aha’ moment, realizing that often the process of creation is even more fulfilling than the result. Additionally, I found an interest in using natural materials in my works. When I was 15, I participated in an art residency in Germany, somewhere near Brandenburg. It was a collaboration between two art schools, one from Lithuania and the other from Germany. The project's concept was to live in the forest for a period and create art using mater

One day, I received a letter from ELSKA coffee shop expressing their desire to open their space to emerging artists, and inviting me to be the first artist to kickstart this 'tradition’. I was very excited to conceptualize the exhibition, prepare all the artworks and their descriptions, and plan their arrangement. It marked my first experience with such a project, and it was incredibly fulfilling. While the aspect of self-realization was significant, I also relished the oppor

For graphic designer and illustrator Austė Parulytė, different neighborhoods of Vilnius became an inspiration for her work. The girl created abstract graphic works depicting familiar objects from her surroundings. The author talks about everything in more detail. You created 25 different illustrations on the theme of Vilnius districts, which turned into graphic works and calendars - how did this idea come about? Districts have always interested me as a phenomenon - each of

When I was 14, a cultural/art school exchange occurred, marking one of the pivotal experiences that laid the foundation for my lifelong commitment to exploring the intersections of art and culture. At the end of this project, I discovered my affinity for playing with realities—a creative expression I continue to embrace to this day. But more on that later. From the age of 5 until 17, I attended the “ Jurate Stauskaite Art School for Youth and Children ,” which organized an ex

(author: Elena Paleckytė) <...> How do you see architecture in your work? Is it interesting as a space where a person works and lives, or in itself - as an aesthetic image, pattern, rhythm, or ornament? I have always been influenced by composition and space - I am simply interested in observing the environment and reflecting on how different elements and their interrelationship forms the overall picture, what we feel in it. Therefore, it is not surprising that the architectur

One morning, while sipping coffee in the green courtyard of Sandycamps in Peniche, Portugal, I received a message on my Instagram account from Kolektiv Cité Radieuse , informing me about an open call for a collective residence for Kunanas 2022, dedicated to Modernism Heritage Interpretation. I was excited to learn about the opportunity as I had been contemplating my artistic plans for the upcoming autumn and winter. The potential project encompassed everything I value: spend

In 2022, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a request from Donatas Šukelis, a journalist from LRT and host of the radio show "Rajonas" on LRT Opus. He reached out to me to explore my hometown district and discuss my life experiences there, along with the inspirations I draw from that environment. "The Jeruzalė district of Vilnius, as described by Austė Parulytė, an artist, graphic designer, and illustrator who grew up there, is characterized by four distinct aspects - indu

Growing Up Modern" by Coryn Kempster and Julia Jamrozik is a book and exhibition series discussing childhood in iconic modernist homes (Publisher: Birkhäuser ). I was honored to create the poster and invitation for the exhibition held at Gallery Kolektiv 313 in the Unité d’habitation, Marseille, in 2022. This iconic building, specifically its inhabitants, are among the book’s characters. I designed the materials for this exhibition by continuing the aesthetics from a previou

The desire and serendipitous circumstances granted me the opportunity to fulfill my dream - visiting the 'Cité Radieuse de Marseille' designed by Le Corbusier. Not only did I visit, but I also had the chance to work there - in the excellently curated 'Collective Cité Radieuse' gallery, with the Mediterranean Sea in view through the window. At that moment, the gallery was hosting the exhibition of the great Italian illustrator Olimpia Zagnoli ( @olimpiazagnoli ). Lunch breaks

After an incredibly emotionally, physically, and safety-challenging trip in Paris (in January, 2019), I finally reached my classmate’s dormitory, my safe haven for the next few days. I opened my broken laptop and discovered an email from a wonderful woman named Lina Van Der Mars. She expressed her admiration for my creative work after stumbling upon me on Instagram and revealed that she works with the Volkswagen Autostadt Museum. Lina proposed a collaboration, asking if I cou

In 2023, as a graphic designer and artist, I was selected for The Break Fellowship, an entrepreneurship program aimed designed to create and empower a strong, women-led business ecosystem across the EU. Following online classes, meetings, and one-on-one mentorship sessions during the summer, as well as an opening event in Madrid at the end of September, where 370 women (selected from 4000 applicants) embarked on this incredible journey, we all set out for 22 different places
