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+
In the painting "Deep River" by Laura Aitmanė, there is a profound and moody landscape portrayed through a palette of deep blues, verdant greens, and touches of gold and white. This abstract depiction seems to reflect a nocturnal scene where light and shadow play dramatically across what appears to be a river surface and its surroundings. The image evokes the essence of a dense, perhaps forested area with reflections and textures suggesting water and foliage. The use of vertical drips conjures images of rain, or perhaps the flowing of the river itself, slightly obscuring and blending the elements depicted. The darker tones at the top contrast with the more luminous colors below, giving a sense of depth and mystery. The abstract form and composition allow for an evocative, dream-like interpretation of a natural landscape at night, serene yet dynamic with its flowing elements and layered colors.
