Full of surprises

  • • Remigijus has worked with glass for over 40 years
  • • He mixes glass working with listening to jazz
  • • He collaborates with fellow glass artists

Remigijus Kriukas is one of the most renowned Lithuanian glass artists, working in this field since 1985. He graduated from the State Art Institute of Lithuania (now the Vilnius Academy of Arts, Kaunas Faculty), part of the first intake of future glass artists. Since then, glass has become a way of life for him. In 2000, Kriukas founded a glass studio in Panevėžys, where all his creative work takes place, where his workshops are held and where glass artists from other countries gather biannually to blow glass to the accompanying sound of jazz. Remigijus’ works have won many international awards. He regularly participates in international symposia and exchanges of experiences and ideas. His glass sculptures are technically complex, decorative yet at the same time powerful.
