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 river scene enclosed by lush woodlands. Broad brushstrokes capture the reflection of tall, slender trees in the calm waters of the river, mirroring the verticality with a slightly blurred effect. The trees boast a range of deep blues and shades of green, standing stark against a lighter, more translucent sky. The riverbank is illuminated by spots of sunlight, revealing rich brown earth tones and hints of green foliage. Near the foreground, a wooden structure, possibly a small dock or walkway, juts into the river, adding a man-made element to the natural landscape. The painting’s vivid colors and dynamic textures evoke a sense of peaceful isolation in the midst of nature.
