Tag the author – win an artwork
The Tag the Artist project invites you to show your appreciation for artists and develop a simple but important habit: whenever you share visual artworks on social media, make sure to credit the artist. Take photos of artworks, share them on your Instagram account, tag the artists and enter the competition for a chance to win one of three artworks.
Competition runs: 9 September – 27 November 2026
Prizes: three artworks
The winners will be selected at random after the competition closes.
Competition artworks
Viltė Čepulytė – Two-faced, 2026
Ink on canvas, 27 × 34 cm
In this monochrome work, a masked satyr—a figure from ancient mythology associated with instinct, desire and uninhibited human nature—emerges from the darkness. The
mask creates an ambiguity: where does the real face end and the role begin? The work was inspired by a sculpture seen at the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam.
Removed from its original museum context and transferred onto canvas, the sculpture
becomes an independent image open to new interpretations.
About the artist. Viltė Čepulytė is a Lithuanian painter of the younger generation. In 2026, she completed an MA in Fine Art at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. In
2023, she received a special prize from The Rooster Gallery in the Young Painter’s
Prize competition. The gallery also presented her work at ArtVilnius, the international
contemporary art fair. Her work is held in the collections of the MO Museum, the TAAD
Foundation and private collections in Lithuania and abroad. She is a member of the
Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists Association.
Aistė Ambrazevičiūtė – Briedragė, 2026
3D-printed natural quartz sand, 35 × 20 × 15 cm
Briedragė emerges from the encounter between natural material and digital technology:
the sculpture is 3D-printed from natural quartz sand. The work continues the artist’s characteristic exploration of the relationship between the organic and the man-made. Structures, textures and forms found in nature are transferred into the digital realm, where they take on a new, almost speculative form.
About the artist. Dr Aistė Ambrazevičiūtė is a digital artist and experimental architect whose practice brings together art, architecture, technology and the study of nature. Her work has been presented at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, the Chroniques Digital Art Biennale in France and Art Central Hong Kong, where she was represented by Meno Parkas Gallery, as well as in the Kaunas Biennial programme. In 2026, her work was also exhibited at Pamėnkalnis Gallery in Vilnius.
Dainius Liškevičius – Centres of the World / Enjoy Yourself, 1999–
Performance, colour photograph, aluminium frame, 40 × 56 cm, Amsterdam
Centres of the World is an ongoing project by Dainius Liškevičius, begun in 1999, in
which the artist stands on his head for about a minute in different locations around the world. This simple action becomes a playful yet philosophical idea: a person’s head is
actually the centre of their world. The performances have been photographed by
passers-by, tourists, friends, artists and curators. Over more than two decades, the
project has been presented in numerous exhibitions across Europe and the United States.
About the artist. Dainius Liškevičius is one of Lithuania’s leading interdisciplinary artists. In 2021, he was awarded the Lithuanian National Prize for Culture and Arts for his critique of cultural stereotypes through contemporary art. In 2015, he represented Lithuania at the 56th Venice Art Biennale. His practice is closely associated with the so-called breakthrough generation of Lithuanian contemporary art and the emergence of a new interdisciplinary artistic language.
