Wall painting “Heroes of Utena” – Eugenija Šimkūnaitė
In 2023, “Gyva Grafika”, one of Lithuania's most prominent street artist collectives, dedicated several nights to creating a large, enduring piece of street art honouring the late herbalist Eugenija Šimkūnaitė. This initiative aimed to enrich the identity of the Utena region and to raise awareness of the herbalist among young people. Artists Žygimantas Amelynas and Tadas Šimkus collaborated to craft a large street art piece on the wall of Utena College in Utena Square, paying homage to Eugenija Šimkūnaitė, herbalist, pharmacist, and habilitated doctor of natural sciences.
