 🎼 Dear friends, I’d love your advice.

Together with my co-author Rimma Bogatova, we’ve written a heartfelt, inspiring, and rich book titled “Music Will Tell the Story of Life” (Russian: О жизни музыка расскажет*).

This is not just a reflection on the challenges of life and the power of music — it’s a fascinating collection of true stories from the lives of great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Vivaldi, Kálmán, Bizet, and Chopin.

You’ll find intimate portraits of their creative struggles, their muses, love affairs, and the twists of fate that shaped both their lives and music.

The book is beautifully illustrated by the talented young artist Samanta Biliotavičiūtė, whose work has been exhibited in the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania.

Now I’m considering whether to publish this book in three languages – Lithuanian, English, and Russian.

Although originally written in Russian, its themes are universal: music, creativity, love, intrigue, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Mieli draugai, norėčiau jūsų patarimo.

 Mieli draugai, norėčiau jūsų patarimo.

Kartu su bendraautore Rima Bogatova esame parašiusios jautrią, įkvepiančią ir turiningą knygą „Apie gyvenimą muzika pasakoja“(rus. „О жизни музыка расскажет“).

Tai ne tik pasakojimai apie gyvenimo išbandymus ir muzikos galią. Knygoje atskleidžiamos tikros gyvenimo istorijos apie žymiuosius kompozitorius – Bachą, Bethoveną, Mendelsoną, Čaikovskį, Ravelį, Vivaldi, Kalmaną, Bize ir Šopeną. Joje rasite pasakojimus apie jų kūrybą, vidines kovas, mūzas, meilės nuotykius ir likimo iššūkius.

Iliustrota talentingos jaunos dailininkės, kurios darbai eksponuojami Lietuvos respublikos seime, Samantos Biliotavičiūtės. 

 Dabar svarstau, ar verta šią knygą išleisti trimis kalbomis – lietuvių, anglų ir rusų.

Nors ji parašyta rusų kalba, jos temos yra universalios: muzika, kūryba, meilė, intrigos, žmogaus dvasios stiprybė.

🎶 Ar jums būtų įdomi tokia knyga?

💡 Ar norėtumėte ją skaityti lietuviškai?

💬 Laukiu jūsų nuomonės komentaruose ar žinutėse – tai padės apsispręsti.

Ačiū, kad esate kartu su manimi šiame kūrybiniame kelyje. 💛

July 2025 Highlights: Art, Journeys, and Deep Inspiration

July 2025 Highlights: Art, Journeys, and Deep Inspiration 

This July was truly unforgettable—a month filled with meaningful moments, creative milestones, and soul-nourishing travels. Here's a glimpse into everything that made it so special:

Journey to Lithuania

My heart returned home as I visited the birthplace of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis in Varėna—so beautifully preserved and alive with his spirit. His words still echo in my soul:
"Norėčiau sudėti simfoniją iš bangų ošimo, iš šimtametės giros paslaptingos kalbos, iš žvaigždžių mirksėjimo, iš mūsų dainelių..."
From Varėna to the sacred town of Šiluva, and a peaceful stop in Šeduva, this journey reconnected me with my roots, history, and creativity.
From July 1–15, our exhibition Baltijos spinduliuotė: meno įkvėpimas ir draugai (“Baltic Radiation: The Art of Inspiration and Friends”) graced the halls of the Lithuanian Parliament. What an honour to showcase works by Baltic artists living in the UK—and to feel the support of our homeland. Meeting cultural representatives, artists, and guests was a powerful reminder of why we do this.
Work continues on the upcoming art album Baltic Radiation, which will feature every artist from the exhibition. This publication will be a lasting tribute to our shared vision and creativity.
Thank you to everyone who was part of this journey—physically or in spirit. Your support, presence, and encouragement mean the world. July has ended, but the inspiration it brought will keep growing.

Travels in Germany

Germany offered new perspectives and inspiration. From quiet museums to bustling cultural corners, every stop added colour to my inner canvas. It was not just a journey through places—but through feelings, ideas, and beauty.
