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 captures a serene wild meadow bathed in the warm, golden light of the evening sun. Dominating the foreground are tall, slender grasses interspersed with wildflowers in shades of blue, white, and yellow, creating a vibrant tapestry of colors that contrast with the subdued hues of the landscape. The sunset casts a bright, fiery orb just above the horizon, radiating rays that streak across the sky and reflect off the clouds. The sky, an expanse of deep blue and purple, is streaked with white and golden clouds, hinting at the setting sun's struggle against the encroaching night. The overall effect is one of tranquility and the beauty of an untouched natural setting at dusk.
