At the helm of this vision is Remigijus Kriukas, the Lithuanian glass artist whose career spans over four decades. Born in Panevėžys in 1961, Kriukas studied at the Lithuanian State Institute of Fine Arts before refining his practice through collaborations with renowned European glass masters. His exposure to international schools of glass design, combined with a profound appreciation for Italy’s cultural heritage, shaped a signature style where technical precision meets artistic spontaneity. Since founding Glasremis, he has exhibited worldwide, showcasing his ability to bridge classical artistry with modern aesthetics in glass.

This philosophy comes vividly to life in the Green Bamboo Glass Sculpture. Rising 40 cm and weighing 6.84 kg, the piece embodies bamboo’s enduring symbolism of resilience and renewal. Its vivid green core ascends gracefully from a crystal-textured base, evoking both strength and serenity. Kriukas employed hot glass casting, blowing, and free forming to create this work, ensuring each sculpture bears subtle variations unique to its making. More than an object of admiration, Green Bamboo also functions as a vase, underscoring his belief that art should merge with daily life. The duality of function and form recalls the Murano tradition, where utilitarian objects became canvases for artistic expression.

Through creations like Green Bamboo, Glasremis demonstrates how the spirit of Italian heritage and Murano craftsmanship can be reinterpreted through a Baltic lens. Guided by Remigijus Kriukas’s vision, the studio continues to craft works that embody both cultural lineage and innovation. Each piece is not only a testament to material mastery but also an affirmation of Glasremis’s role as a global standard-bearer for luxury glass artistry.
