Streetart is slowly becoming part of every city, here what I could find in Vilnius.

Os Gemeos

Brazilian twins Os Gemeos came back to Lithuania with a very personal mission, to pay respect for their grandfather who is of Lithuanian descent. In their mural for the always excellent Vilnius Street Art Festival, the two brothers incorporated a picture of their grandfather sitting in a palm of a colorful giant - a very recognizable style of Os Gemeos with a unique Lithuanian twist.

Millo

"the Italian artist created his very first site-specific mural incorporating exsisting windows and other architectural details into the monochromic painting. As Millo claims, he is becoming a little bored with paper white plain walls, so he was excited for a possibility to play with architectural details in his mural. Millo has a educational background in architecture.

Of course, not everyone should like it, " (Source)
