Linas Krūgelis
Abstract
The article deals with that part of the art of well-known Lithuanian
sculptor Regimantas Midvikis which is dedicated to the
theme of Lithuanian national symbols. The sculptors works of
art contain references to Lithuanian historical narratives, ancient
Baltic mythology, symbols of statehood, historical tragedies, and
the sacred themes of human existence. During his successful and
prolific artistic career, Midvikis created more than fifty works of
sculpture, many of which still adorn the public spaces of Lithuanian
cities, and some of which are still under construction.
