As the festive season approaches, we invite you to look sensitively at the nature around us and discover its beauty. A special exhibition of Laima Dzigaitė’s herb-based graphics, „Pakviestiems į Tylą“ has opened at the Angel Museum.
“Herbs are like visible signs of an invisible Creator, revealing paradise on earth. With my artworks, I want to speak about the importance of loving and marveling at the wonderful nature we have been given. I create only in winter, when life in nature fades — in my studio the herbs are reborn into a different kind of life,” says Laima Dzigaitė.
Over her long period of artistic exploration, the author has tried a wide range of techniques, from graphics, watercolor, and batik to woodcarving. For nearly twenty years, however, she has been working in a unique technique that artist V. Žukas has called “herb graphics”: she draws inspiration from nature and uses dried plants and grasses in her works.
The exhibition is complemented by a 2026 calendar and postcards featuring Dzigaitė’s artwork. Postcards are priced at 2eur and the calendar at 12eur.
We will soon invite you to take part in a creative workshop with the artist.
Laima Dzigaitė was born in 1954 in Ukmergė. In 1972 she moved to Kaunas, where she graduated from the A. Martinaitis Art School. She later worked at the S. Žukas Higher School of Art. She currently lives and creates in Ukmergė. Since 1993, she has held more than 30 solo exhibitions across Lithuania and has also presented her work abroad — in Latvia, Poland, Germany, and France. The artist has illustrated numerous books. In 2007, Dzigaitė was granted the status of Art Creator.
The exhibition will run until January 10, Monday–Thursday, 10:00–17:00.
