There were a couple
The exhibition, called “Shades of Blues”, will be open until May 27 in the creative oasis located on Vilniaus Street, near the underpass.
In it, you can get acquainted with the latest accessories designed by the bright singer and the paintings of her long-time stage partner.
“It should be said that Arina and Vytautas have been making music together for many years. Currently, both of them have chosen a new creative direction. So, there are things that will always be close to both Arina and Vytautas. And the fact that both are not only musicians, but also artists, inspired the idea of organizing the first joint presentation of their works”, says gallery founder Rasa Gulbe.

Arina has already invited the public to several exhibitions of her created jewelry, and this is Vytautas’s debut.
V. Čeplinskas, who graduated from the Vilnius Art Academy, has worked with ceramics, design, and painting.
“At the same time, I was still playing until the music won and I became a professional musician. Until now, I play percussion in the groups “Arina and Veto Bank”, “Spectrum”, says Vytautas.
He, immersed in the engaging and seductive vortex of the scene, forgot about painting for a long time.

“The circle of life turned and there was a great attraction for art again, which, I think, had not disappeared anywhere, but was just languishing in the corner of the heart and waiting for its hour. Now drawing and painting have become my main occupation, and music has become my hobby,” says the interviewer.

Inspired by nature, V. Čeplinskas became an oil painter, and while working with acrylic paints, he plunges into a more abstract world.
“From my youth, I was greatly impressed by impressionism, hyperrealism, and later by expressionism, abstract art, but now I admire all painting that is done professionally. Of course, it must be genuine, sincere and of lasting value. The most perfect and talented creator is nature, and I only learn from it: I admire, look, observe, inspire and become,” says Vytautas.

The painter and musician is open – art connected his fate with Arina many years ago. The couple, who had been in a relationship for about five years, had a son, Martynas, in 1991.
“We broke up emotionally. Like many. While Arina lived in Vilnius, we did not communicate. But the grievances were quickly forgotten for both of them, there was no anger, so we were able to work together again. Now we are good friends,” says the developer.
Vytautas smiles – he does not discuss artistic ideas with Arina yet, but both give “likes” to each other’s work on social networks.

“Art comes from Arina’s heart, she is always genuine and open to art. She has been creating beautiful jewelry for over five years. Each work of the artist is like a separate symphony, woven from love, resounding with joy and giving good energy. By stringing small beads into chords like notes, she creates wonderful, melodious jewelry,” the founders of “Swan Gallery” say.
