The drawing of a nude woman was made in class from a real model. Later, in my studio, with gouache and colored pencils, I finished drawing around a night summer garden and a swing.
"Midsummer, one of those nights when the temperature drops a little bit after a hot day, but it's still stuffy. And although it is night, there is something in it that is calm and safe. The scent of cut grass is mixed with the scent of flowering lavender, sage, heated resin of conifers and many flowering plants around. Smells, sounds of crickets; warm air touches the naked body and I want it to last and not end."

Рисунок обнаженной женщины был выполнен в классе с реальной натурщицы. Позднее уже в своей студии гуашью и цветными карандашами я дорисовала вокруг ночной летний сад и качели.
Середина лета, одна из тех ночей, когда температура воздуха немного спадает после жаркого дня, но по-прежнему душно. И хотя ночь, но есть в ней нечто оберегающее и безопасное. Запах скошенной травы перемешивается с запахом цветущей лаванды, шалфея, разогретой смолы хвойных деревьев и множества цветущих растений вокруг. Запахи, звуки сверчков; теплый воздух касается обнаженного тела и хочется, чтоб это длилось и не кончалось.

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.
