Laura Ruplėnaitė-Beresnevičienė Announces Book on Law and the Decalogue as Her Faith-Inspired Mobile Photography Reaches an International Audience
Sep 12, 2026
The Lithuanian lawyer and photographer, recently profiled by FineArtsNews, is preparing a new book and describes the camera phone as her main tool for capturing nature, landscapes and everyday moments as reflections of a beauty she attributes to the Creator.
BIRŽAI, Lithuania, September 12, 2026 -- Laura Ruplėnaitė-Beresnevičienė, a lawyer and photographer based in Biržai, Lithuania, has announced that she is preparing a new book on law and the Decalogue, her second publication after an earlier book she compiled and released with an ISBN. The announcement follows a profile published by FineArtsNews in September 2026, which introduced her photography to an international readership under the title "Capturing the Creator's Gaze."
The book grows out of her professional work and connects the practice of law with the Ten Commandments. Alongside it, she is considering presenting her photographs to a wider audience, possibly together with another of her passions: a collection of cups gathered from countries around the world.
A Camera Phone as the Main Tool
Ruplėnaitė-Beresnevičienė photographs with a mobile phone. Until recently she worked with a professional camera, but she found that the quality of the images was no worse on a phone, and it has become her main tool. She associates it with leisure: photography is not her profession but the way she spends her free time, pursued with enthusiasm in order to convey the beauty she sees. Her subjects are nature, landscapes and moments of everyday life, captured from what she calls an original angle.
Her style, in her own description, is diverse but predictable, a combination she compares to futurology. She favours free improvisation, presenting everyday scenes and natural masterpieces as versions of her own vision of the world and of the people around her. Inspiration arrives simply, from a conversation or from the wish to be in nature and record moments that fascinate her with their unique simplicity. What is simple, she notes, is sometimes brilliant, but it still has to be understood and presented so that the meaning stands behind the lines.
Photography as a Way of Conveying the Creator's Beauty
The philosophy behind the work took shape early. Her father was a keen photographer who, in his youth, also developed his own pictures; a pious man with a feeling for artistic value, he passed the fascination on to his daughter, whose first attempts with the simplest devices go back to childhood. A conversation with him became the turning point. He told her that a person can be a good creator only by keeping a relative but stable and unchanging centre of beauty, and when she asked what that centre was, he answered that it was the Creator Himself. She thought about it for a long time and concluded that artists reproduce His creation through their own means, acting as conveyors of beauty, in photography as much as in writing. She also stresses that an artist's outer limits are only the limits of imagination.
"The beauty of creation reflected through the lens is an expression of the beauty created by the Creator," she says. "Even the most beautiful canto repeats itself; chords break and violinists lose their notes, but the Creator, having created beauty, gives meaning to our perception of it and to the feelings that lead into the depths of the soul."
She hears the repetition found in nature the way one hears a recurring chord in a song, as evidence of an enduring artistry rather than of monotony. In her view the photographer is not simply an artist but a virtuoso who expresses matter itself through the focused gaze of the lens, while creativity itself has its starting point in the Creator, with people as its vessels, still searching for the meanings of life.
Law, Physics and a Different Angle
Photography sits beside a demanding professional life that she prefers to keep in the background. Ruplėnaitė-Beresnevičienė is a lawyer who continues to deepen her legal knowledge, and she also studied physics, with project work in quantum physics. She does consulting work, often pro bono, and from her early twenties she spent more than ten years as an honorary adviser to a member of parliament. Her knowledge spans the natural sciences as well as the social construction of society and the regulation of public behaviour, which she views through a bioethical prism.
Photography, she says, helps her relax and look at the issues of the day from a different angle, an unconventional viewpoint that she finds useful in her work with the academic community. Certificates, in her words, are not what grace a person, and life is not merely letters and formulas but an art that has to be experienced.
A Message of Faith and Courage
Asked what she hopes people will take from her work, she gives the answer that, by her own account, persuaded her to be interviewed at all. "Let us look at life with faith and work so that every day brings moments of joy, enriching our own lives and the lives of those around us," she says. Creativity, she adds, is not creativity without the courage to express one's attitude towards life and the surrounding world, and she encourages others not to be afraid and to move boldly forward.
Her closing thought to readers borrows a line from "The Little Prince": what is most important is seen only with the heart. The eyes, she observes, do not always reflect the basic laws of the dynamics of life, but the language of the heart always helps. She wishes everyone the discovery of their own path and of the meanings of life, which for her lead to Jesus Christ, the only safe haven for the search for meaning.
What Comes Next
With the book on law and the Decalogue in preparation, Ruplėnaitė-Beresnevičienė is also weighing when she will be ready to show her photographs to a wider audience, and how the images might one day be presented together with her cups from various countries. Until then, she continues to work as she began: with a phone in hand, an eye for the simple, and the conviction that the beauty she records was there before her.

Coway offers tailored mattress options for different sleeping habits
Coway is promoting three mattresses under its BEREX brand to meet diverse sleeping preferences, offering options for people with different sleeping postures and couples who prefer different levels of firmness. The company said its lineup is designed to accommodate differences in body shape and sleeping habits, as Koreans tend to get relatively little sleep, making it increasingly important for consumers to improve their sleep quality. According to a 2024 survey by the Korean Society of Sleep Research, Koreans sleep an average of six hours and 58 minutes a day, placing the country among the lowest-ranked OECD members in terms of sleep duration. With limited hours of sleep, more consumers are seeking better-quality rest, making it increasingly important for mattress makers to address their diverse needs. For people who sleep on their backs or prefer firmer support, Coway recommends the BEREX Modi Mattress, which uses individually pocketed signature springs made with high-strength steel wire from POSCO for durability and stability, along with Contour 7-Zone Foam designed to distribute body
Microsoft-IITP program helps Korean AI talents tap into global research resources
Budding artificial intelligence (AI) researchers presented the results of their work during an internship program jointly organized by Microsoft Research and the Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP), showcasing new findings in areas such as visual agentic AI, brain-inspired AI, AI-native systems and spatial intelligence. Microsoft, IITP and the Ministry of Science and ICT jointly held the 2026 Korea Day presentation event at Microsoft Korea Office in central Seoul, Tuesday, with over 100 students, mentors and officials from Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) and IITP attending. IITP is the policy-planning and management arm of the ministry. “By embracing interdisciplinary and cross-boundary research rooted in Asia Pacific, we aim to define the new paradigm of computing and AI for the better,” Microsoft Research Accelerator Director Lee Mi-ran said. “Our collaboration with Korea is not a series of one-off events. It has been built steadily over more than 20 years … Government provides the framework, universities provide the talent and idea
Mercedes-Benz Korea turns to affordable CLA EV amid falling sales
Mercedes-Benz Korea is betting that a more affordable all-electric CLA sedan will revive its flagging electric vehicle (EV) business in the country, as Tesla and Chinese rivals gain ground in one of Asia’s most competitive imported-car markets. The German luxury automaker introduced the all-new electric CLA and GLC on Monday, with the entry-level CLA coupe-type sedan priced from 52.9 million won ($40,000). The pricing marks a major shift from Mercedes-Benz’s traditional premium positioning, placing its new electric sedan closer to mass-market alternatives, including Tesla’s Model Y, which starts at 49.99 million won in Korea. The Model Y was the country’s best-selling vehicle last month, largely due to its competitive pricing. The launch of the price-competitive CLA comes as Mercedes-Benz struggles to rev up sluggish EV sales. The company’s electric car lineup, previously a major source of growth, has lost momentum following the August 2024 fire involving a Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan in an underground parking garage in Incheon. Mercedes-Benz’s EV sales in Korea reached a peak of

Samsung Bioepis secures 10-year exclusive drug supply deal in Brazil
Samsung Bioepis has secured a decade-long exclusive supply deal for a rare disease treatment in Brazil, strengthening its position in Latin America’s largest pharmaceutical market while opening a new chapter in its partnership with the Brazilian government. The Korean biopharmaceutical company said Tuesday it had signed a local partnership agreement to supply SB12, a biosimilar of Soliris with the active ingredient eculizumab, to Brazil’s Ministry of Health. SB12 is used to treat rare conditions including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, a blood disorder, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can damage blood cells, kidneys and other organs. Brazil’s health regulator, the National Health Surveillance Agency, known as ANVISA, approved the drug in December 2024. The Brazilian eculizumab market was worth about $170 million (250 billion won) last year, according to the company, which expects the 10-year exclusive supply agreement to provide a stable source of revenue. Under the government-led Productive Development Partnership program, Samsung Bioepis will work with Brazilia
GS Global invests in carbon credit firm to expand trading business
GS Global is expanding into carbon credit trading through an equity investment in Hooxi Partners, a Korean carbon credit specialist, seeking to monetize emissions reductions from its existing eco-friendly businesses. GS Global said Tuesday that the investment would establish a strategic partnership, combining Hooxi Partners’ carbon reduction expertise with GS Global’s global network and trading capabilities. The investment comes as Korea's fourth emissions trading scheme, covering 2026-2030, takes effect. Tighter emissions caps, expanded paid allocations and stricter global carbon regulations are raising the cost of securing carbon credits and increasing exposure to price volatility. GS Global aims to turn carbon credits into a new growth engine. Founded in 2021, Hooxi Partners offers services ranging from carbon credit methodology development and emissions reduction project management to securing Korean Offset Credits (KOCs) and forward trading. The company focuses on transportation-related emissions reduction projects, particularly the transition to electric vehicles. It also oper

Hyundai Motor, Kia to test Level 4 autonomous trucks
Hyundai Motor and its sister company Kia said Tuesday they will conduct test operations of Level 4 autonomous trucks as part of an ongoing effort to advance self-driving technology and pave the way for commercialization. The automakers signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the project with Hyundai Motor Group affiliates Hyundai Mobis Co. and Hyundai Glovis Co., as well as autonomous driving technology startups Mars Auto and RideFlux, at the group's Namyang R&D Center in Hwaseong, southwest of Seoul.
