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.

This painting boasts a vivid dance of colors, with strokes of pink and red sweeping across the canvas, emulating the sultry sway of heat. Amidst this fiery array, pockets of serene blue and soothing yellow burst through, offering brief respite like cool breezes on a sweltering day. The colors meld and collide, creating a passionate display of movement, their textures thick and dynamic, almost palpable in their intensity. It's as if one can feel the vigorous brush strokes carving through the heat, each swipe adding to the chaotic yet cohesive symphony of temperatures and hues. The composition pulsates with life, mirroring the unrelenting and overwhelming essence of heat.
