Artwork in the room
Laura Aitmanė was born in 1987. She followed her passion for architecture, graduating in 2010 from the Kaunas Faculty of Arts at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, and again in 2012 from the Kaunas University of Technology, specializing in architecture on both occasions.
Nature is Laura Aitmanė’s primary source of inspiration. Her artistic pursuits are closely connected to landscapes, flowers, and animals. She delights in bird watching and takes particular interest in Lithuania’s wild plants, which often appear as motifs in her creations.
Aitmanė’s unique style features expressive, at times slightly rough, brushstrokes. This method enables her to portray nature in a way that avoids both clichés and excessive sentimentality, infusing her paintings with authenticity and vitality.
Since 2020, Laura Aitmanė has been exhibiting her works in solo shows. Through these exhibitions, she continues to investigate and present her fascination with the patterns and beauty found in nature.
About this artwork+
This painting captures a serene landscape. A river curves through the scene, flanked by a rugged riverbank. On the bank, tall, thin trees stretch towards the sky. Some are leafless, creating striking silhouettes against the luminous backdrop. The contrasts are vivid under a deep blue sky that fades into lighter hues near the horizon. Laura Aitmanė uses bold brushstrokes and a rich color palette in "A Glimmer of Light". Earthy tones mix with deep blues and greens, reflecting the natural world's diverse textures and colors. Her style appears influenced by expressionism, emphasizing mood and emotion through color and technique. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility and the stark beauty of a woodland scene at dusk or dawn, where light begins to break through the darkness. Aitmanė's work invites viewers to appreciate fleeting moments of natural beauty.
