This calligraphy exhibition presents calligraphic compositions of recent years. Perceiving calligraphy as the most important part of the creative process, where through spontaneity, individuality, and the typification of natural images, the release of the creative spirit is manifested. In this case, the words of art researcher Gražina Gurnevičiūtė are especially meaningful: "...these are visual meditations, enveloped in light poetic cloaks, associatively conveying the connection with the ubiquitous nature and the personal experience of being."
