Gintaras Karosas (June 25, 1968 in Kryziokai, Vilnius district) is an artist who founded Europos Parkas and designed its landscape. Karosas organized several exhibitions of his graphic works as a secondary school student. After graduating from the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in sculpting, he studied at museums in Japan and the United States. His work on Europas Parkas began when he was nineteen - he located a wooded site outside of Vilnius that he felt would be suitable for a sculpture park and began clearing its overgrowth. He placed its first sculpture, ''Symbol of Europos Parkas'', in 1991. Five other Karosas sculptures have since been placed in the park: ''Monument of the Centre of Europe'', ''For Your Convenience'', ''LNK Infotree'', ''The Place'', and ''Foundations / Window.'' He also designed its educational center, which features a grass roof. In 1995 ''The Wall Street Journal'' included Karosas in its list of twenty young people who had brought about important changes in Eastern and Central Europe. He received a Saint Christopher statuette from the City of Vilnius in 2001 and a National Cultural Award of Advancement in 2006. ==References== * (GINTARAS KAROSAS ).
