Client: Ignitis Group
Commission: Internal Visual Environment
Role: Lead Visual Author
Ignitis Group — the leading energy group in the Baltic region — commissioned a long-term internal visual environment developed as a coherent system of 50 original works. Realised at architectural scale, the project became a sustained visual presence across the company’s offices, integrated into daily working spaces.
Ignitis plays a central role in the region’s renewable energy transition and long-term sustainability strategy. As part of this commitment, the company sought a visual commission that could reflect ecological responsibility through cultural form. The project was conceived as a spatial “Red Book” of endangered Lithuanian species — a visual archive of preservation extending into the workplace.
I was invited to develop this project through carbon monotype, my authorial method based on imprints of real surfaces and collected natural textures. The technique allowed the project to build an ecological visual language through material trace. Each image begins with textures gathered in Lithuania, recording direct contact with place.
(Full method context: Carbon Monotype: Method and Practice.)
All 50 works were produced as analog carbon monotype originals. They were then digitised and scaled from paper format (~50×70 cm) into wall installations reaching in some cases over 3.5 metres in length, applied directly within Ignitis interiors.
The series was developed as a long-term visual system rather than a single fixed installation. New office spaces can select and implement works over time, allowing the archive to expand with the organisation while maintaining a consistent visual language.
The project was initially introduced through Havas Creative Soma and soon transitioned into direct collaboration with Ignitis Group, where I served as the lead visual author, responsible for the full visual logic, the production of all 50 originals, and the preparation of a scalable system for spatial application.
The works were implemented at Ignitis headquarters in Vilnius, as well as across offices in the Baltic states, with additional sites in Poland and Finland.
Beyond the architectural installations, Ignitis also received an internal visual library of the full system. The works continue to function as a resource for the organisation’s cultural and communication needs — supporting formats such as printed materials, internal publications, seasonal visuals, and annual initiatives where a selected species becomes a focus of the year. In this way, the commission remains an active framework with long-term institutional use, extending the life of the project well beyond its original sites.
This project stands as the key large-scale realisation of my material-trace based practice: carbon monotype translated into a sustained spatial and organisational environment.
