In 2011, after graduating from the National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Art’s conducting class, Kristijonas studied film theory and music at Brunel University (London). Here, the discovery of psychogeography (prof. Will Self) had a significant impact on his work.

After returning to Lithuania in 2021, Kristijonas created visual projections for more than 10 theater plays.
