Jolita Puronaitė Lubienė was born in 1970 in Panevėžys, Lithuania. In 1991, she relocated to the city of Kaunas to pursue her higher education. Since 1996, she has resided and worked in the Kaunas district, immersing herself in the local artistic community. Jolita began participating actively in painting symposiums and group exhibitions in 2014, establishing her presence within the Lithuanian art scene.
Although her fascination with art began in childhood, Jolita only started painting independently a few years ago. Her artistic path led her through different art schools and ultimately to the studio of renowned artist Antanas Obcarskas. Through his workshops, Jolita encountered both the delights and challenges of creativity, describing the experience as “walking on razor’s blades of creative pleasure and suffering.”
After exploring various painting techniques and secrets, Jolita discovered her passion for expressive abstraction. She delights in the freedom that painting offers, allowing her to be fully present and liberated as vibrant and inventive bursts emerge on the canvas.
Jolita’s art arises from a profoundly intuitive process, which she describes as “tasting with the inside.” She absorbs her environment by moving, listening, observing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Like a sponge, she channels these sensory impressions into her artwork, allowing her paintings to convey her individual perceptions of the world and her inner emotions.
About this artwork+
This painting exhibits a vivid and dynamic composition dominated by vertical brush strokes and drips of paint, creating a sensation of movement and fluidity. The color palette is rich and varied, incorporating bold shades of orange, red, blue, green, and yellow, contrasted against deeper tones of black and white. These colors blend and overlap, some areas brighter and more saturated, while others are subdued and darker, suggesting depth and texture. The energetic application of paint evokes a sense of spontaneity and emotion, drawing the viewer into a chaotic yet harmonious landscape of colors. The rhythm and interplay of colors and textures seem to capture an abstract, naturalistic scene, perhaps reminiscent of a forest or a vibrant urban setting at dusk or dawn.
