Lauren Paulina Gutić Fine artist based in Northern VA / DC area, specializing in portraiture and water-themed landscapes Hello! Welcome to my online gallery of works.

The majority of my paintings derive from personal, touching experiences in my life. Their titles may hint to the subject's name / place, or the emotions I felt translating the moment on to canvas. I've always paid close attention to elements of light, fine detail, high contrast, motion, and pattern. When standing afar my work could fall into the category of representational or realistic. But stepp

ing as close as possible is where the magic comes from. Every brushstroke is visible and the history of the piece's layers show. A happy-medium between realism and abstraction.

FREE CUSTOM MURAL GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone 👋🏽🎨🖌️
I’ve decided to really commit to expanding my art business into residential and commercial murals, and I’m looking for one homeowner or local business to help me kick off this new chapter!

I’m offering one FREE custom interior or exterior mural in exchange for permission to photograph and film the process for my portfolio and social media.

Whether you’re wanting a:
* Dreamy peaceful nursery
* Fun playroom or children’s bedroom
* Colorful accent or statement wall
* Botanical or nature-inspired design
* Storefront or small business advertisement
* Or any another custom idea, including bold text and calligraphy, let’s create something extraordinary and unique together!

I’m a Pratt Institute graduate (BFA in Painting) with nearly 15 years of experience creating commissioned art, and I’m so excited to finally start bringing my passion to larger spaces!

Here’s how to enter:
✨ Comment below with where you’d love a mural and why.
✨ Feel free to include a photo of the space.
✨ Repost / share this post!

I’ll choose one project by September 1st 2026 that best fits my style and schedule.

📍Located in the suburbs of Washington D.C., but willing to travel for the right project.

Now let’s see some empty walls that need a little love! To include additional details about your space, feel free to email me at [email protected]
