Possibilities of glass technologies and their application in student lectures and creation.Results / Findings. The artist has perfectly mastered the flat and sculptural form, which was especially revealedwhen casting works of a realistic nature. The symbolism and theme of S. Grabliauskaitė’s glass works were veryintricately connected with personal experiences, interests and spiritual experiences. The themes of time flow, nature,animals, and human analysis are most clearly developed. The artist’s works are also characterized by symbols,associations, and stylistic hints of cultures of various periods such as Christianity, ancient eras, Secession,etc., and the synthesis of which revealed the culturalological validity of the author’s world outlook and work.Originality / Practical implications. The expression of the artist’s glass art includes two main areas - glassplaques and sculptures. These works are full of associations and symbols that help to understand and percievethe ideas conveyed in the artist’s works. S. Grabliauskaitė created not only panels, but also glass sculptures,bringing storytelling and unique stories into attention. The artist mainly depicted a human figure or separateparts of the male and female body such as torsos, heads and hand casts. In the paintings, the artist relied mainlyon an abstract artistic image, and most of her sculptures stood out for their extraordinary realism, even naturalism.Such categories include series like „Miegantys laike“ (Figure 1. ”Sleeping in Time”), „Menininkų portretai“ (“Artists’ Portraits”) and „Balti veidai“ (“White Faces”).The horses depicted on the plaques (Figure 2 – 3) are remarkably different. Some are noticeably energetic, fullof feelings of bitterness dancing with whole bodies, others are jumping freely in an unlimited space, and othersare tired, with their heads down quietly rattling invisible grass. Horses seem to draw strength from nature andfrom themselves. The works are reminiscent of archaism.64
