Vilnius University Business School's Gift for Vilnius' 700th Anniversary - an Artwork Inspired by Lithuanian Nature

On the occasion of Vilnius' 700th Anniversary, Vilnius University Business School presents a gift: an artwork inspired by Lithuanian nature. The piece, created by artist Mykolé, is part of her collection titled "Enveloped Forest" and has been brought to life on the facade of Vilnius University Business School. The inspiration for this artwork comes from the annual spring flooding of the Žalgiriai Forest in the Nemunas Delta.

In the Žalgiriai Forest, nature awakens as a threat. The relentless flow of water and the swirling currents pose a danger to all living things in their path. Only the mighty ancient trees stand firm against the forces of nature. Their dark and solid trunks stretch toward the sky, while their roots spread widely in the water. Three of the largest pieces from the 'Enveloped Forest' collection are dedicated to Saulėtekis, with one of them finding its place on the facade of Vilnius University Business School.

Mykolé (b. 1987) earned her bachelor's and master's degrees while studying at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (National School of Fine Arts in Paris). Whether in France or back in Vilnius, the artist has consistently devoted herself to the contemporary interpretation of landscape painting.

To admire this artwork, you can visit Saulėtekis at Saulėtekio al. 22.
