Exhibition “Ode to amber”

Regina Nemanytė-Rinkevičienė is a Lithuanian artist—a creator of monumental metalwork and jewelry—based in Kaunas. Her work is defined by a focus on metal, amber, natural forms, and original jewelry-making techniques. Exhibited both in Lithuania and abroad, her art is distinguished by a unique silver-welding technique she has employed for years to craft original jewelry, artworks, and compositions.

“Ode to Amber” represents the pinnacle of Regina Nemanytė-Rinkevičienė’s jewelry art, the culmination of her creative experience, and an expression of her love for amber. Nature and its most subtle phenomena serve as her source of inspiration; the aesthetic of her pieces incorporates visionary dreams of the underwater world and exotic floral motifs.

The exhibition features compositions in which raw amber nuggets are woven into openwork structures of silver-plated cupronickel and brass, evoking the vegetation of the deep sea or the coastline. Viewing this series feels like hearing the harmonies of the universe gathered into a powerful major chord—an experience that embodies the keywords defining Regina Nemanytė-Rinkevičienė’s entire body of work: open to the miracles of nature and life, mysterious, and possessing an aristocratic elegance.
