Kęstutis Benedikas

The master became interested in woodwork at an early age. He worked in Alytus at the Volungė Secondary School. Now he is a free artist living in the Alovė municipality. He has the status of an artist. He started his work with small items such as kitchen utensils, children's toys and carnival masks. The sculptures made by the artist decorate not only Lithuanian parks. Kęstutis himself participates in and organises symposiums, plein-airs and exhibitions in Lithuania, Germany, Denmark, Russia and Japan. This year he participated in Costa Rica, Argentina and South Korea. As Kęstutis says: - carving is my whole life.
