Nerijus Kisielius, a sculptor from Lithuania, draws profound inspiration from the marvels and narratives of the natural world. His artistic journey starts with careful observation and the recording of the subtle wonders he encounters—like the first light of morning, the birth of a lamb, or a bird perching on a sheep's back. Kisielius lingers in these instances, letting them echo within him before later reshaping these impressions into bronze sculptures that each convey their own distinct tale. For him, this act of creation is a way to document his bond with the world and the act of creation itself.

He highlights that such moments are more than fleeting; they serve as the foundation of his artistry. Using clay and ultimately casting in bronze, he shapes these recollections into small yet vivid stories, positioning himself as both witness and shaper of life’s sacredness. The sculptures that emerge are not just works of art, but personal records that trace his ongoing conversation with nature and a higher creative presence.

Specializing in bronze, Kisielius experiences a sense of fulfillment with this enduring material. The careful attention he pays to delicate sculptural details is apparent in each creation, and the permanence of bronze guarantees the longevity of his art. Every piece is made in his own studio foundry, reflecting his commitment to overseeing all phases of the creative process, from the first spark of inspiration to the completed artwork.

Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 1979, Nerijus Kisielius earned his degree from the sculpture department at the Art Academy in 2004. After graduation, he settled in the countryside of Kaunas county, where rural landscapes and the gentle rhythm of village life continually feed his inspiration. His sculptures suit a variety of interiors and stand as enduring tributes to the connections and narratives he discovers in the natural world.
