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 visually divides into two striking bands: the upper part showcases a field of tall, waving grass stems under a muted golden sunset, creating a soft and tranquil backdrop. The lower section bursts with vibrancy, featuring a dense array of poppies. The poppies are predominantly red but interspersed among them are blossoms of rich purples and blues, dotted with lighter shades of green. This vivid foreground starkly contrasts with the serene and uniform upper half, drawing the eye to the colorful, chaotic beauty of the flowers blossoming with life and color. The entire scene is rendered with a dream-like quality that blurs the lines between reality and imagination.
