Gerardas Raitas Šatūnas was born 1964, Lithuania, in the City of Šilutė,
but he grew up in Druskininkai. He graduated from the Tallinn University 
of Arts (Estonia) in 1990, being specialized in the craft of stained glass. 
At that time he already worked together with his father in their shared 
atelier, where his main focus was the glass working as well. 

Gerardas was active for the glass factory 'Ausra' in Vilnius, where he 
made glass cups and vases. The technique of blowing the glass, by the way 
is a skill one has to maintain every day. After his practice at the glass 
factory, he became a wide profile master. Stained glass panels created by 
him decorate several state buildings in Lithuania and numerous of churches 
on the country side.

From 1990 till 1995 Gerardas was occupied preparing future art students for 
their exams in joining VDA (Fine Arts Academy of Vilnius), teaching composition, 
drawing techniques, as well as water color, acryl and oil painting. In this 
period Gerardas also did quite some stained glass restoration.

Gerardas Raitas Šatūnas held exhibitions of his paintings at several art 
galleries in Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and the 
Netherlands. He paints architecture, still life, landscape, and posing using 
mixed techniques. 

Geras traveled a lot and also lived in Kampenhout - Belgium, and Rotterdam. 
Apart from being a master glass artist, Gerardas has many more artistic talents, 
doing paintings, fresco's, photography and drawings. Also especially worth 
mentioning are his scalpel scratches. 

Geras' philosophy is that art doesn't need to be all that fluffy, but may be a 
little bit dark as well. His work he tends to sell at an agreeable price. At the 
moment he has his own glass oven in the city Druskininkai, where he is working 
together again with his father. He is always happy to take any assignments for 
customized art work at your service.
