Hello there!
I'm Rūta Cyrolytė - a printmaker, illustrator, self-publishing, and bookmaking enthusiast based in Kaunas, Lithuania.
I work mainly with illustration, print design, self-publishing, and printmaking, but the circle of my favorite media is constantly expanding. In my work, I explore human connection, the intertwining of past-present-future, and personal transformations through humor, and I simply allow myself to explore everything and anything.
So far I have worked with Alytus Cultural Center, Inconvenient Film Festival, cultural publication Kaunas Pilnas Kultūros, selected stationery store Raštinė, Open Lithuania Foundation, and various events and musical performers.
