Watercolour Biennial "Baltic Bridges. 2026. INFINITY"

The 11th International Watercolor Biennial 'Baltic Bridges. 2026. INFINITY' is an international art event held in Kaunas every two years since 2006, bringing together watercolor artists from various countries around the world. The biennial presents the diversity of watercolor, its contemporary possibilities, and encourages international cooperation among artists. Watercolor is a special painting technique where water, color, transparency, and surprise meet. Although it is one of the oldest forms of artistic expression, it is constantly changing and discovering new ways to speak about today's world. The young artists' exhibition is one of the parts of the biennial, dedicated to the young generation of creators and their perspective on the art of watercolor. Here, creative explorations, personal experiences, and a sense of the contemporary world are revealed. Watercolor becomes a means of self-expression, allowing for experimentation with color, water, brushstrokes, and imagery. The exhibition invites you to get to know the works of young creators, discover different artistic approaches, and see how the traditional watercolor technique takes on new forms and meanings in today's art. It is an opportunity to see creative paths just beginning and to feel how diverse, lively, and open to new ideas watercolor can be. Works by young artists reflecting the possibilities of contemporary watercolor and the ingenuity of the painters will be presented. The exhibition will be open until December 4, 2026.
