All artworks

Jūratė Sasnauskienė, an artist from Kaunas, Lithuania, has shown a deep enthusiasm for art since childhood. She attended Saulės Gymnasium and continued her studies at the A. Martinitis Four-Year Children's Art School, where these early experiences provided a strong base for her later artistic pursuits and creative growth.

In 1976, Sasnauskienė completed her architectural studies in Vilnius. Her artwork often reveals this architectural background, as she frequently weaves elements of architectural structure and spatial organization into her paintings. This education equips her to present a distinct perspective in her art, merging expressive artistry with the meticulousness of architectural design.

Although Jūratė Sasnauskienė first became proficient in the subtle art of watercolour, she now primarily chooses to work with oils. Oil painting allows her to infuse her pieces with vivid hues and rich textures, vividly animating her subjects. This evolution has enabled her to cultivate a unique style characterized by both technical mastery and expressive depth.

Sasnauskienė’s realistic works often create an atmosphere of tranquility and positivity. Inspired by both human-made structures and the natural landscape, she adeptly depicts historical architectural forms as well as the vibrant splendor of nature and vegetation. Every work embodies her combined love for architecture and the environment, encouraging observers to pause and savor the harmonious scenes she brings to life on canvas.

About this artwork+

This watercolor painting captures a scenic view of Vilnius Cathedral. The artwork illustrates a wet day with reflections shimmering on the ground, suggesting recent rainfall. Multiple figures, possibly tourists or locals, are scattered throughout, some walking solo and others in pairs, adding life and motion to the scene. The cathedral, grand and solemn, stands majestically in the center, flanked by tall buildings and surrounded by lush, saturated blue trees that line the promenade. A scattering of street lamps and a clear sky enhance the calm yet vibrant ambiance of the piece. The overall effect is one of tranquility mixed with a touch of historic reverence.
