One of the most beloved and memorable childhood experiences was trips to the sea. Palanga, Jodkrante or Nida - all our Baltic coastline with its dunes of white sand, the smell of sun-warmed pines and heather in bloom. Daily morning walks on the wooden walkways to the sea, when the sand is still heavy and damp from the night dew, or an evening promenade with people dressed up as if for theatre, going to see the sun set into the sea. Jogging along the very edge of the wave, as if playing or flirting with a huge colossus of the sea. And the salty wind blowing out all the bad thoughts. I still love it all so much.
In recent decades, severe winter storms have washed away much of the coastal dunes, and in order to protect this unique and apparently fragile ecosystem, the dunes have been lined with the trunks of young pine trees. Soon enough, exposed to the sun and the salty wind with sandy dust, the pine trunks become silver and the needles turn a copper-golden color. A combination reminiscent in its complexity of detail and color of antique precious forging, where silver and gold threads are intricately woven together in a single piece. And also, looking at this living carpet, one is reminded of Japanese art with its sophisticated aesthetics of color and line. I found it very beautiful.
I have painted several diptychs on the subject. This is one of them.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Natalie Levkovska

Lithuania

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.
