Education:

  • Master’s in Cultural Management (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium)
  • Bachelor’s in Cultural History and Anthropology (Vilnius University, Lithuania)
    “Erasmus” exchange programme (Université d’Orléans, France)

Experience:

  • Six years of experience in the international art market working as an art expert and valuations specialist at Sotheby’s auction house in London.
  • Public sector experience at the Department of Culture of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles), organising a conference on the protection of movable religious heritage.

Motivation

My time spent at one of the world’s largest art auctions afforded me direct access to some of the most renowned artworks, collections, and pages of art history. Nevertheless, I was consistently struck by the realisation that within this exclusive realm, there remains an inadequate focus on creators and the cultural context from our region. “Create Lithuania” programme represents an opportunity for me to re-immerse myself in the local community of art professionals and employ my international experience to elevate the potential of Lithuanian creators and cultural production on a global scale.
