My studio is located outside the city on the territory of gardens and in autumn, when the foliage falls and summer residents leave their gardens, it becomes clear what is growing in neighbor beds. Last fall, passing by a neighbor's plot, I saw this amazingly beautiful blooming ornamental cabbage on the black loosened earth. So luxurious in shape and color shades that I immediately wanted to photograph it in order to depict it later in painting.
For the composition of the picture, I chose the theme of the love chase of two rabbits, or rather the white rabbit running away and the hare chasing it. Apparently, the white rabbit is a female and it can be assumed that, as she runs away, she thinks: “Am I running too fast?” As for the hare chasing her, this is a male who, at the moment of the chase, turns his head to the viewer and asks with a glance: “Look how gorgeous I am!” All this action takes place against the backdrop of black earth and bright pink flowering cabbage.

Моя студия находится за городом на территории садов и осенью, когда листва опадает и дачники оставляют свои сады, становиться видно, что у кого растет на грядках. Прошлой осенью, проезжая мимо соседского участка я увидела на черной взрыхленной земле эту цветущую декоративную капусту удивительной красоты. Такая роскошная по форме и цветовым оттенкам, что сразу захотелось ее сфотографировать, чтобы позднее написать.
Для композиции картины я выбрала тему любовной погони двух зайцев, точнее убегающего белого кролика и догоняющего его зайца. Судя по всему, белый кролик - женского пола и можно предположить, что, убегая она думает: “а не слишком ли быстро я бегу?” Что же касается догоняющего его зайца – это самец, который в момент погони оборачивается к зрителю и взглядом вопрошает: “правда я великолепен?” Все это действо происходит на фоне черной земли и ярко розовой цветущей капусты.

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.
