Born and raised in Darbėnai, a town situated in the Žemaitija region, Irena Jasiūnienė is an artist who has spent over thirty years living and working in Panevėžys, which she now considers her home.
In recent years, Irena Jasiūnienė has dedicated more and more of her attention and energy to painting. Much of her inspiration arises from her immediate environment—nature, the nearby landscapes, and the various locations she has visited both within Lithuania and abroad during her travels.
The artist has a particular affinity for depicting reality as she perceives it, favouring subjects that feel natural and familiar. Landscapes and still lifes, therefore, remain among her preferred genres. Through them, she seeks to convey a vision of the world that is authentic and accessible.
Liveliness, vibrant colour, and a sense of authenticity are qualities Irena Jasiūnienė consistently strives for in her art. She seeks to produce paintings that exude positivity and inspire uplifting emotions in those who view them, believing that art should engage both the eye and the heart.
About this artwork+
This painting, filled with vibrant and assorted shades of red, pink, and purple poppies, captures the essence of a lush meadow under a light, obscured sky. The flowers are painted with a loose, impressionistic style that gives an aura of movement and life, as if a gentle breeze is wafting through them. The background, blurred and suffused with soft greens and blues, contrasts harmoniously with the vividness of the poppies, highlighting their delicate beauty. The use of light and shadow in the painting suggests a calm, early morning or late afternoon time, contributing to a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
