Sviatlana Petushkova | Photographic series "Žolinės"

At present, the first floor of the gallery features a photographic series by artist Sviatlana Petushkova, titled “Žolinės”, in which the fragile beauty of the Baltic wild flora is conveyed through the visual language of classical aesthetics.

Sviatlana Petushkova was born in 1990 in Minsk, Belarus. Following the controversial 2020 elections in Belarus, she experienced political repression and was forced to flee the country in December of the same year. Since then, she has lived and worked in Vilnius, Lithuania, where she actively pursues her artistic practice. Since 2022, she has been a member of the Lithuanian Artists’ Association. In 2025, she completed her Master’s degree in Graphic Art at the Vilnius Academy of Arts.

Realising that she would most likely never return to her homeland, the artist embarked on a number of creative projects aimed, in her own words, at making Lithuania feel like home and embracing it as her new homeland. In creating the photographic series “Žolinės”, the artist builds a connection with her new home through the rich natural landscape of Lithuania.

All works are produced in limited editions of 10, in various sizes, and printed on high-quality Italian Fabriano Unica etching paper containing 50% cotton.

The artist’s works are held in public and private collections in Lithuania, Belarus, Austria, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, and France.
