Hello, I am Artūras, an artist from Lithuania who creates sculptures and assemblages from scrap metal.
For my creations, I use items that no one needs or their fragments, which can be found in scrap metal shops or flea markets. Thanks to my imagination, they take on a new form, as if reincarnated, transformed, and become a new body already in artistic expression. I feel a kind of relief when I bring something with its history already condemned to destruction to a new life. I always try to create a character that carries a positive emotional charge and a sense of surprise.

T-Rex
T-rex became the subject I took up. Two identical parts of a motorcycle that I found in a junkyard dictated the idea to create a tyrannosaurus. I have wanted to make a dinosaur sculpture for a long time. And I managed to embody everyone’s favorite T-rex. It took me about two months to create the sculpture. I didn’t use welding, so I had to think carefully about how to connect the body parts. I took the longest time making the tail and head. One of the motorcycle parts I used to create the tyrannosaurus head was chipped. But I used it as an advantage to give the dinosaur more aggression. But still, he’s more likable than scary.

Mosquito
This mosquito is not simple. It is a combination of metal and modern technology. It has software installed in its head and tail. The blood-sucking effect is clearly visible when the cable is connected to the mains. The mosquito itself was collected from a car, motorcycle, scooter and other found objects.

Heart
Flight
This time I chose an unconventional choice of material for me. A bird was born from field implements and tools. I joined the parts with semi-automatic MIG welding. I used a stone pick, plow and metal forks used in agriculture to create the sculpture. The result was excellent. It’s a bird that seems to be trying to take off.
Tartar
Another idea how you can turn an unnecessary item into a special accessory in your home interior. This is a meat grinder I bought at a flea market in Germany. Then came the idea to present the meat grinder together with the tartar, in this case made from motorcycle and bicycle chains. I replaced the minced meat with a set of metal wrenches, spark plugs, pliers, and springs. This is a sculpture for fans of meat tartar with special spices.
Military Man
Military man create from motorcycle, car and other found objects from metal. The parts of the sculpture are connected without using welding.
Echoes Of War
This cannon was assembled from objects found in a scrap yard. This time I went after the brass and bronze waste section. I managed to find some things that I liked, which suggested the theme for this sculpture. I already had all the necessary elements, so all that remained was to properly connect them together.
Table lamp Octopus
I used a part of the body of a Russian samovar to create the lamp. I bought the glass cover at a flea market. It didn’t match the diameter, so some of the glass had to be ground down to fit nicely on the metal ring. I made the legs of the lamp from 3mm aluminum tape. I left the natural colors of the metal, leaving room for fantasy. The octopus sculpture is a great choice for lovers of non-standard solutions.
