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, lush forest landscape reflected in the tranquil waters of a lake. Bold, vivid strokes of blue, green, yellow, and red blend to create a vibrant tapestry of colors. A prominent, slightly leaning tree adorned with green foliage anchors the composition on the right, with its branches stretching towards the left side of the canvas. The background is a dense array of vertical tree trunks, possibly portrayed in an autumn setting, as suggested by the rich palette of warm and cool tones. This forest scene is mirrored in the lake below, where the colors dissolve into softer, more fluid versions of themselves, adding a dreamlike quality to the reflection. Patches of lily pads and foliage float gently on the water's surface, enhancing the sense of depth and tranquility.
