Exhibition of embroidered paintings by Romualda Dereškevičienė "The Beauty of Nature in Embroidered Paintings"

Exhibitions

Date: open until December 14.
Location: Lazdijai Gymnasium, 3rd floor lobby

We invite you to meet Romualda Dereškevičienė from Lazdija and admire her exhibition of embroidered paintings. The works reveal the beauty of nature, the variety of colors, and the delicate art of handwork.

Romualda was born and raised in Lazdijai. For a while she lived in Marijampolė, but later returned to her hometown. She raised three children, and in addition to her daily work, she always had a special hobby, cross-stitching. This hobby has accompanied her for many years. For her, it is both relaxation, the joy of creativity, and the opportunity to convey with colorful threads what is beautiful and close to the heart.

The paintings feature the peace of white winter, the sunlit greenery of summer, a cozy water mill, a romantic sunset, a colorful peacock, and many other motifs. Each stitch tells its own story, intertwining the beauty of the seasons, the peace of nature, and the play of light and color.

The author's embroidered paintings also decorate the environment of orphanages, and she presents her work in various cultural and educational institutions.
