Aurina Griciūtė Paškevičienė, a Lithuanian artist specializing in decorative arts, graduated from the Kaunas St. Žukas Applied Art Technical College. Over time, she has cultivated a distinctive style and artistic voice of her own. Now based in the Lithuanian town of Utena, Aurina continues to pursue her creative journey and develop her artistic viewpoint.
For Aurina, painting holds profound personal significance. She regards it as both art therapy and a means of achieving freedom through the act of self-expression. Each painting becomes a visual journal—an honest record in which she conveys her ideas, feelings, and emotions using striking colors and expressive lines. Through this process, she explores and communicates her inner life.
In her artistic perspective, Aurina perceives the world as if it were part of a fairy tale, suffused with kindness, happiness, and light. The motif she revisits most frequently is the figure of a woman, whom she finds to be endlessly intriguing and enigmatic. This theme continues to shape the stories and imagery she creates in her artwork.
Aurina’s works are distinguished by their emotional depth and authenticity. Her paintings draw viewers in with mesmerizing colors and a fearless imagination, while also displaying great care for details and decorative features. Her passion for decorative art is apparent in every piece, turning each work into a singular and vivid expression of her artistic vision.
About this artwork+
A fairy-like little girl kneels amidst a field of dandelions, gently blowing the fluffy seeds into the air. She is adorned in a polka-dot dress with delicate wing-like attachments on her back, echoing the whimsy of her surroundings. Her bonnet is tied beneath her chin, covering her hair, while her face is turned away, focusing intently on her task. Beside her stands a large, fuzzy dog with a striking, attentive face and large, fluffy ears that frame its expressive eyes. The background reveals a soft, dreamy landscape dotted with trees and highlighted by hints of a pale, misty sky. Small, round stones scatter across the lush green foreground, adding texture and detail to the serene pastoral scene.
