Ray Bartkus creates surreal distorted reality by adding painted stairways and other spatial architectural elements to the existing stairway and the wall. The artist questions the perception of reality. Mental imagery and visualization can alter how we perceive the world around us. To a large extent, the mind creates reality.

Famous Belgium surrealist Rene Magritte made a drawing of his pipe and wrote the title "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe) below the image. He wanted to emphasize that the viewer is seeing not a real pipe, just a painted illusion created on the paper. Ray Barkus turns this logic upside down. By painting the sky on the wall and naming it "Ceci n'est pas un mur " (This is not a wall), he claims that the imagination is capable of creating a new reality.

The mural Crowd Surfing references an animation work I made. In making animation I am always thinking about how movements are made. I began to trace the paper puppets to study the movements of the puppets and the drawings resemble the drawing you see in this mural. When people are crowd surfing they pop up from the crowd and are carried by the crowd and fall back into the crowd. Their movement in the crowd and being carried by the crowd is a metaphor for aspects of our life as social beings.

In a crowd, we become invisible. We are free to expose our true nature without fear. This can be profoundly and creatively liberating. It can also conceal, and reveal, darker natures.

Will Teather is internationally known for creating artworks that are both refreshingly contemporary, otherworldly and rooted in the medium's rich and complex traditions. " Flock" is intended to depict an impossible viewpoint, as if the viewer is stood in the middle of a flock of birds. The composition creates an immersive experience for the viewer through both the perspective and scale of the composition. The artist has always been drawn to the sense of spectacle associated with birds and their inherent symbolism, with doves being a symbol of peace.

On the right side of the wall the artist depicted his remarkable assistants from Marijampole, without whose help he would never been able to finish the mural. The left side of the wall is dedicated to famous US singersongwriter Bob Dylan, riding a motorcycle. In the middle of the wall sitting on a bench and waiting for the bus to Vilkaviskis is another world famous singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Both Dylan's and Cohen's family roots reach back to this part of the world, called Suvalkija. The alien playing cello is settled here from another beloved mural by Ray Bartkus "Alien Symphony" created during Malonny 1 and unfortunately destroyed.

M. Ragelous's works can be characterized by magnifying small and individual details, which at the end creates fascinating view. However, she changed her idea after seeing Marijampolė and hearing the story about the square of cats. Before hearing the story, she imagined some kind of mystic characters on the wall, but afterwards she drew cats and birds to depict fragments of the history of Marijampolė and the Countess Butlerienė love for cats.
