Saulė Dzidolikaitė, the sister of Lithuania's decorated boxer Eimantas Stanionis, is carving out her own path as a florist assistant, inspired by her family and a desire to support young artists. She recently gained attention for her involvement in a local festival where she presented a unique floral creation.
Dzidolikaitė, who lives in Kaunas and is entering her final year of high school, acknowledged the significant influence of her 15-years-older brother. "I would like to achieve as much in my field as he has in sports," she stated, emphasizing her ambition.
Witnessing her brother's live boxing match for the first time last year solidified her belief that success comes through persistent effort. Eimantas Stanionis, a former WBA welterweight world champion and Olympian, currently resides in Kaunas with his family. He actively supports Saulė's aspirations, encouraging her career choices.
I would like to achieve as much in my field as he has in sports.
"Eimantas supports me, urges me to make the right choices. His advice inspired me to organize an event for young people in Kaunas on August 29th, where emerging, unknown artists will get a stage. This is my first major challenge that I have accepted," Saulė shared.
Her passion for flowers was ignited by renowned florist Modestas Vasiliauskas. Dzidolikaitė recently modeled one of Vasiliauskas's creations, a dress crafted entirely from flowers and greenery, at the Akmenynai regional festival. Vasiliauskas, who has strong family ties to Akmenynai, designed two such dresses for the event, drawing materials from a local farm.
Eimantas supports me, urges me to make the right choices. His advice inspired me to organize an event for young people in Kaunas on August 29th, where emerging, unknown artists will get a stage. This is my first major challenge that I have accepted.
