WHERE ART AND SPACE
BREATH AS ONE
‘Hero’ invites the creation of a dialogue between human and nature, between movement and stillness. The artworks displayed in the business centre by renowned artists perfectly reflect this idea – they become a natural part of the environment, a living source of inspiration within everyday space, inviting one to pause and experience the beauty of tranquillity. It is a space where art is not only seen, but felt – quietly speaking to the individual, enriching the day with subtle emotion and inspiration.
VLADAS SUNCOVAS
‘I believe that art in the workplace is not a luxury, but a necessity. It reminds us of the human, sensory way of perceiving the world – something that often gets lost amid schedules, plans, and deadlines. The play of light, the dynamics of surfaces, the authenticity of materials – all of these create an environment where people can pause, even for a moment, to feel the space, its rhythm, its air. Such an environment nurtures creativity, eases tension, and deepens our connection with the surroundings.’ – shares Vladas Suncovas, an artist who creates spaces through the intersection of architecture, design, and technology, and who has also crafted two unique artworks for the ‘Hero’ business centre.
DRIFT
Drift explores geological shifts and the slow, imperceptible transformations of the Earth’s surface. Dolomite stones, bearing traces of plant fossils, merge with marble chippings, gravel, and stainless-steel surfaces to form a layered, time-worn landscape. The mirrored steel reflects and disperses light into the surrounding offices, turning the installation into a source of luminous movement. Drift evokes not only geological motion but also drifting fog – a slow, ephemeral flow that unites matter, light, and air into a single whole.
FOLIA
Folia explores the relationship between architecture and nature – moments when the wind carries stray leaves into urban spaces. The steel used in the installation resembles the surface of aluminium foil – glossy, cool, and reflective. Mirror-polished steel leaves capture and scatter light playfully throughout the building’s surroundings, echoing the subtle motion of falling leaves. Folia speaks of the coexistence between nature and urban structure – of how wind, light, and architecture intertwine to create an unexpected, ever-changing landscape.
SANDRA STRĖLĖ
‘Art in unconventional spaces has a subtle yet powerful impact – it brings culture closer to everyday life, making it accessible beyond the walls of museums and galleries. When people encounter art in workplaces, public areas, or while on the move, they naturally and unexpectedly engage with creativity – it awakens curiosity, sparks reflection, and fosters a deeper, more personal connection with culture. Such moments add a touch of surprise and inspiration to our daily lives, transforming ordinary places into meaningful spaces. By meeting art unexpectedly, we enrich our lives – making them more vivid, engaging, and a little bit magical.’ – shares Sandra Strėlė, a contemporary painter known for her monumental, large-scale works that also grace the interiors of the ‘Hero’ business centre.
FOREST TENNIS
Inspiration from the quiet tension between human presence and the resilience of nature. The idea grew from imagining a tennis court – a symbol of precision, control, and rules – slowly merging with the organic, unpredictable rhythm of the forest. It captures that moment where human activity and natural renewal coexist, where the line between what is cultivated and what is wild begins to blur. I also wanted the work to feel calming – a place where movement and stillness exist together. The gentle rhythm of the game, surrounded by the quiet growth of nature, creates a sense of balance and tranquillity.
MELANCHOLY II
The light, modern, and wide space inspired me to think of the painting as a kind of window – an opening that brings nature into the architectural setting. Its large scale allows the viewer to feel almost drawn into the scene, bridging the calm, organic world of the forest with the clean openness of the interior space. The work speaks to renewal and balance: how, even as human structures fade, life continues to grow and reclaim. It’s both peaceful and a little melancholic – a reminder of our smallness within the larger rhythm of the natural world.
