Exhibition Introduction:
The collection “Journey” is based on the interplay between Lithuanian and British cultures and personal experiences of living in both countries.
Exhibition Description:
I was inspired by the symbolism of the 17th-century "Little Dutch Masters," which invites the viewer to delve deeper and discover hidden meanings. This inspiration gave birth to the collection“Journey”.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of my collection, which has been exhibited both in Lithuania and the United Kingdom. The collection, titled “Journey” is a contemplation of the commonalities and differences between Lithuania and the United Kingdom. The works reflect the cultural symbols and historical connections of these two countries. Inspired by personal experiences and shared European values, the pieces explore the complex impact of the Brexit era while bridging the identities of both nations.

I have something special to share with you...
You know how art can touch the soul, right? Well, we are creating something truly meaningful—a beautiful album featuring the works and stories of Baltic artists exhibited in London at the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania.
This album will be multilingual (English, Lithuanian, Latvian, Ukrainian), but most importantly, it will be filled with heart.
It’s not just an art showcase—it’s a preservation of the emotions, creativity, and passion of these incredible artists. Every brushstroke, every word, every detail tells a story. And the best part? This book will debut at the 2025 Vilnius Book Show, shining as a testament to the beauty of Baltic culture.
I can’t express how much this project means to me—it feels like creating a legacy that we can all share and be proud of. Knowing that people like you believe in this vision makes it even more special. This album is more than just a project; it’s a way to connect hearts and inspire future generations.
We can all be a part of this journey, and I can’t wait to see it come to life. Let’s make this dream a reality together.

Neringa Ablingytė People also ask how I am creating (music, songs, poems, paintings, theatre performances, or simply spontaneously performing with the kids). I can't answer. I am not doing it; I am just jumping into this amazing flow of energy and power and copying it from there. And I believe that we just need to break our blocks, and then everyone can do it.

Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community. The protection of cultural property is an old problem. Cultural heritage passed down to us from our parents must be preserved for the benefit of all. Writing and reading are primarily solitary pursuits. We invite everyone who values arts and culture to explore the written word. And we support the vibrancy and diversity of the Lithuanian writers in the UK artistic culture. We believe that writing empowers greater understanding of self and others and thereby encourages compassion and empathy in our society.
