Vytenis Jakas
Portugal street art surprised me with originality, however Lithuanian contemporary
artist are often in my mind too. Vytenis Jakas widely known in Lithuania as founder of
„Yard Gallery“ and author of Kaunas Pink Elephant. „Burning stones“ is one of the
most exceptional artworks  that can be found in Vilijampole, Kaunas district. 
In 2018 V. Jakas decorated old
building
near
the
entrance
of 
Jewish  ghetto in Vilijampole. Artist
created unique mosaic from broken
mirror shards. It is always a treat to
come here on sunny days to see
sunlight
reflections
from
the
distance. According to the author,
shards
Jewish
represent
ghetto
broken
life
inhabitants
of
and
shining mirror pieces gives hope
and sense of community.
