Gabrielė Prišmantaitė

Gabrielė Prišmantaitė(218)

All artworks

All of Gabrielė Prišmantaitė's (born in 1990) paintings have one thing in common - the sensation of wind flowing through them. The grasses she paints seem to sway and ripple, stirred by invisible currents - bending, rustling, and rising again.

The artist herself describes painting as a way of tapping into the mystery of nature, where every single flower contains the universe within itself and that's why every stem, every blade of grass is painted with such tenderness and care. These artworks represent a magical moment when the whisper of nature silences our inner monologue and we are overcome by calm and peace, rooted in the present moment, unbothered neither by the past nor the future.

The metaphor of waving grasses is especially evocative. Swayed and rustled by the wind, the stems bend but do not break. Nature's beauty reveals itself as resilient, enduring, and unyielding. These paintings are particularly suited for a space where one seeks a sense of peace and harmony.

About this artwork+

A white, metallic pitcher, subtly aged and tinged with hints of rust, sits centrally in the composition, its surface gleaming with reflections. It holds a lush bouquet that brims with the pointed, vibrant green leaves of sage and the delicate purple flowers atop slender stems of lavender. This assembly of herbs is not just vivid in color but suggests a burst of freshness and natural aroma. Behind, a background of golden yellow tiles, each meticulously shaped into small hexagons, casts a warm, inviting glow, contrasting with the textured purple surface beneath the pitcher, which is detailed with similar geometric patterning. The overall effect is one of harmony and simplicity, a still life painted with a palpable sense of calm and the quiet beauty of everyday objects and plants.
