Usually, when I thinking over a series of works, I more or less know what will be in it. But in this case, everything happened spontaneously - I did not plan it, honestly, it doesn't feet to the general context of the “Roots” series. The fact is that at that moment I was in the middle of painting the work "Peacock", which has are a lot of small details and despite my love for complex tasks, apparently at that moment I was running out of time, and I probably got tired of the monotony, and it was 3-rd week of working on one painting, and there was no end in sight. Therefore, in order to occupy my restless mind, I began to listen to audio lectures by the brilliant Georgian philosopher Merab Mamardashvili on the theme of M. Proust's novel “Lost Time”.
In these lectures, I pick up the amusing thought that in love we do not crave an object so much as the very feeling of being in love. After the lecture, I came up with idea of picture, where a rabbit looks with a loving gaze not at the object of his love, in this case at the carrot, dropped as a bait from heaven, but into the space behind it...

Обычно, когда я продумываю серию работ, я более-менее знаю, что в ней будет. Но с этой работой все случилось спонтанно – я не планировала ее, она, на мой взгляд, выпадает из общего контекста серии “Roots”. Дело в том, что в тот момент я писала работу “Peacock”, в которой очень много мелких деталей и хотя я люблю сложные задания, видимо на тот момент меня поджимали сроки, и наверное, я подустала от монотонности, и от того, что шла 3-я неделя, а конца работы так и не было видно. Поэтому, чтобы занять свое беспокойное сознание, я стала слушать аудио-лекции гениального грузинского философа Мамардашвили на тему романа М. Пруста “Потерянное время”.
В этих лекциях я услышала занятную мысль о том, что в любви мы не столь жаждем объекта, сколь самого чувства влюбленности. После лекции у меня на эту тему возникла картинка, где кролик влюбленным взглядом смотрит не на объект своей любви, в данном случае на морковь, спущенную в качестве приманки с небес, а в пространство за нею…

Natalie Levkovska is an experienced Lithuanian painter and illustrator. In 1995, she obtained a degree in stone, bone and wood processing from a master artist (Abramtsevo College of Applied Arts), and in 1999 she completed a degree in costume design (Vilnius Academy of Arts). She then became a costume designer for the cinema industry, and later a fur designer. In 2006, she decided to change her life: she moved to London to work in a design studio, and started to experiment oil painting.

She creates simple and poetic artworks, mixing surrealism and naive art. Her artistic universe is a kind of magic realism: she likes to show real life objects and try to bring out the magical pulsation of space. The plots of her creations are taken from her life: a birch glade near her house at different times of the year, the portrait of a loved one, her village in the snow... 

Natalie Levkovska have organized 19 personal exhibitions, participated in a lot of paintings and drawings events, and her drawings can be found in many private collections.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
