PAULIUS RUKAS

His recent work explores cultural identity, the interaction of space and time, the aesthetics of materiality and historical memory. His work covers geopolitical and social themes such as grounding and a sense of place specificity, which is manifested through jewellery and objects in various forms, from clay sculptures to photographs. The contextuality of place is evident in her work, with her ‘space-parasitisation' projects using local soil to emphasise the specificity of a particular place, while her experimental photography, inspired by in situ situations, explores themes of time passage and documentation... Started his professional activity as a jeweller in 2013. In 2016, the jewellery school Vilnensis awarded the jeweller the first category certificate, in 2017 - the second category certificate, in 2019 - the third category certificate.
