Viktoras Dailidėnas (born 22 January 1979 in Panevėžys)is a Lithuanian glass painter and stained glass artist experimenting in the field of artistic architectural glass, creating various glass objects for interiors and public spaces.
He grew up in Panevėžys in the family of artists Jonas and Lidija Dailidenai. He studied ceramics at Panevėžys School of Art. In 2000, he graduated from Kaunas J. Vienožinskis College, Department of Fine Glass (ed. S. Grabliauskaitė). He continued his studies in stained glass specialty at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts,where he graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree and in 2006 a master’s degree (ed. A. Dovydėnas). According to V. Dailidėnas, the Academy gave him more artistic impulses, while all the necessary technological knowledge (glass blowing, casting, melting) was received only in Kaunas. [1][2]
Member of Lithuanian Artists’ Union (2009), National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries (2016).
Currently, he runs UAB Dailidesign company, and he and his wife, clothing designer Laura Dailideniene, have established the brand ”Laura Daili Vilnius”. With this company participates in international exhibitions and events, where they also present glassware and various works.
V. Dailidėnas creates in his studio in Vilnius. Receptive to contemporary trends and experiments in his work, therefore he was one of the first in Lithuania to take architectural art glass techniques,[3] wrote master’s work on this topic. [2] Since 1997 he has participated in various glass exhibitions and symposia in Lithuania and abroad. Its glass works and stained glass can be found in public and private interiors and exteriors.
