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+
The painting depicts a serene, misty landscape with a group of cranes gathered at a water's edge. The background features soft, blurred trees and brush strokes in shades of gray, yellow, and green, suggesting a dense, foggy forest. The cranes are painted with delicate precision; their white and gray feathers stand sharply against the muted background. They assume various poses, some with their heads up, looking vigilant and alert, while others bow their heads gracefully towards the water. The water itself reflects the quiet gray of the foggy atmosphere, adding to the overall feeling of calm and serenity in the scene. The mood is tranquil yet poignant, capturing a moment of natural beauty and stillness.
