I've started this series of works in February 2020, just at the beginning of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. My studio is located away from the city, above the lake, surrounded by gardens, in winter it is very quiet around ... my only neighbors are garden cats and birds. In Lithuania, winter sky is low and almost all the time gray, the trees are bare and almost black; everything around becomes monochrome, which, combined with the surrounding silence and loneliness, affects the perception of reality. Everything around sounds in the rhythm of "Air for G String" by Bach, and tune in to thoughts of the infinite. This is how a series of works, which I called “Roots”, began and it continues to be replenished with new works.

Эту серию работ я начала в феврале 2020 года, как раз в начале первой волны пандемии Ковида. Моя студия находиться в отдалении от города, над озером, окруженная садами, зимой вокруг очень тихо… единственные мои соседи - садовый коты и птицы. Зимой, в Литве небо низкое и практически все время серое, деревья оголяются, становятся практически черными и все вокруг становиться монохромным, что в сочетании с окружающей тишиной и одиночеством влияет на восприятие реальности. Все вокруг начинает звучать в ритме "Air for G String" Баха, и настраивает на мысли о бесконечном. Так началась серия работ, которую я назвала “Roots” и она продолжает пополняться новыми работами.

I started this series at the end of 2022 and continue to keep adding to it every week if possible.
In an abstract picture, it's easier to express emotion, the movement of energy. But in my opinion abstract doesn't always convey a narrative, while I like to tell a story with my work. So, I decided to experiment in this series: combining an abstract background and a rather realistic figurative composition.
All the drawings are made in class from live nature.

We stopped in Rome in early October. Warm sun, an amazing feeling of peace and some kind of light carelessness. By the end of the day, tired of absorbing places breathing eternity, we decided to visit a place called Orange Garden.
Since I am an amateur gardener, if I have the opportunity to visit a beautiful garden, I will definitely try to do it. We climbed a high hill, from the top of which a panorama of the city sinking in the rays of the evening sun was opened; somewhere nearby someone was playing guitar and singing; children with a cheerful hubbub ran through the square until they fell into the hands of caring parents; a long line of tourists, shifting from foot to foot, slowly moved towards the huge old door. I don’t know what others felt, but my mind painted fantastic and mystical landscapes of unreal beauty that would open to me as soon as I looked through the keyhole of this door. When my turn came, I bent down, looked through the doorway and saw a garden, an alley, a path, a view of the temple ... now I don’t remember what exactly I was looking at. Apparently, the very feeling of a miracle and a premonition of it were much stronger than what I actually saw.
This year I started a new series of drawings. The process of creating a work begins with drawing in class with other artists from live model. Later in my studio, I finish drawing the details that help to reveal the image of model itself and tell the viewer a fictional story that I saw in the process of drawing. Sometimes, as a background, I use landscapes of places I have seen or some texts or words that accidentally or not pop up in my mind. Sometimes some details in the Doodle style or echoes of old prints are woven into the canvas of the narrative, bringing a touch of frivolity and light irony into my refined world of dreams and nostalgia for a lost paradise. The light, faded range of colors creates a mood of melancholy and light timeless sadness. I named this series of works Secret Garden, in memory of the Orange Garden, which in a bizarre way combined the past and the present, the fictional and the real, something that is outside, but that cannot be captured if it does not appear outside.

Мы остановились в Риме в начале октября. Теплое солнце, удивительное ощущение покоя и какой-то легкой беспечности. К концу дня подустав от поглощения мест, дышащих вечностью, решили посетить место под названием Orange Garden.
Так как я садовод–любитель, то если у меня появляется возможность посетить красивый сад, я обязательно постараюсь это сделать. Взобрались на высокий холм, с вершины которого открывалась панорама на тонущий в лучах вечернего солнца город; где-то рядом кто-то играл на гитаре и пел; дети с веселым гвалтом носились по скверу, пока не попадали в руки заботливых родителей; длинная очередь туристов, переминаясь с ноги на ногу, медленно двигалась к огромной старинной двери. Не знаю, что ощущали другие, но мой ум рисовал фантастически-мистические пейзажи нереальной красоты, которые откроются мне, как только я загляну в замочную скважину этой двери. Когда подошла моя очередь я наклонилась, посмотрела сквозь дверное отверстие и увидела сад, аллею, дорожку, вид на храм… теперь и не вспомню, что конкретно я рассмотрела. Видимо, само ощущение чуда и предчувствие его было намного сильнее реально увиденного.
В этом году начала новую серию рисунков. Процесс создания работы начинается с рисунка в классе с другими художниками с живой натуры. Позднее в мастерской я дописываю детали, которые помогают раскрыть образ самой натуры и рассказать зрителю вымышленную историю, которая увиделась мне в процессе рисования. Иногда, как фон я использую пейзажи виденных мною мест или какие-то тексты или слова, случайно или нет всплывшие в моем сознании. Порой какие-то детали в стиле Doodle или отголоски старинных гравюр вплетаются в канву повествования, внося нотку несерьезности и легкой иронии в мой рафинированный мир грез и ностальгии по утерянному раю. Светлая, выцветшая гама цветов создает настроение меланхолии и легкой вневременной грусти. Я назвала эту серию работ Secret Garden, в память об Orange Garden, который причудливым образом соединил в себе прошлое и настоящее, вымышленное и реальное, что-то что есть вовне, но то, что невозможно уловить если оно не проявляется снаружи.

This short series of works is created between 2019-2020 and devoted to my observations of myself and others. I name it “Funny side of Me” because in a little bit naive and childish form, using funny animals as the main characters, I’m telling my mini stories about how I want sometimes to “get off the leash”, about finding your place of silence, about creativity under any circumstances and “holy strawberries”… what makes us from the aside a little bit funny, but alive.

Series of works inspired by Richard Bach's book “The Story of a Seagull named Jonathan Livingston” and dedicated to my love to Baltic sea. Between 2010-2011, in Vilnius.
"Sea and Gull" is perhaps my favorite and most non-commercial project. But it happens that the author likes, does not always resonate with the public.
It all started in my youth. I guess that most young, intelligent people at one time read Richard Bach's book “The Story of a Seagull named Jonathan Livingston”. At sixteen, it became a kind of event for me too.
Then there was a lot of everything, and I remembered the book much later, returning in 2009 from London to Vilnius. The book served as leaven, but the basis was still my love of the sea.
Starting from three years, every year my mother and I had a summer holiday on the Baltic coast. Have you ever swum in the Baltic Sea? If you grew up, like me in the Baltic states, you probably know the peculiarities of the swimming in our sea. In summer, the water here rarely warms up above + 17 ° C, and the most excitement is the swimming in a storm, when you, together with other people screaming from the cold and rapture, jump through the rumbling waves. When the water warms up to 18-19 ° C by the middle of summer, the sea calms down into calm and blooms. To plunge and swim, you need to wiggle your knee in cold water for a long, long time, by the time you get to deep water, your body will be covered with goosebumps from the cold and bravely dive into the burning water, turn around, run back to the beach, bask in the dune on warm white sand. Much later, I found out that the sea can be warm and that you can’t get out of it for hours. That it also can be a fabulous azure color. Yes, the world turned out to be many beautiful and warm seas. :) And yet my attachment to our harsh sea is great: with its cold-steel sky, piercing wind, an endless white strip of sand that goes into the infinite, curved, tar-smelling pine trees, soaring lonely seagulls. From all this, a local character has developed, including mine.
Having returned from England in 2009, I plunged into myself with a question, but what is next: what matters to me, what I like, what I want to express? I realized that, as at 16, I still feel detached from the pack and that one of the most pleasant childhood memories is walking along the seashore. This is what I decided to paint.
The series of works was painted by new and not typical for me technique: small volumetric strokes of oil paint, similar to pieces of mosaics. With different lighting, they shimmer and create a special three-dimensional effect.
It may not feel inner peace in the works, but this is something that I do not like at sea, I don’t like calm.

In 2008, in London, I was invited to participate a group exhibition with the theme “Gothic”. I had no doubt what to portray for this event. The thing is that couple months before this, me with my friend spent a holiday in Spain, where we visited Seville and its Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See. In my life I have seen a lot of sacred architecture. Honestly, I love visiting that kind of places (as well as local markets, but that’s a different story). There one could feel the inner life of city, its cultural background, and these places are usually (if it’s not a Protestant church) full of artistic values, what have been always interested me. Undoubtfully, Seville Cathedral is masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is one of the largest as well. Perhaps, that is why inside of it you feel the infinite extend of inner space. The combination of gray stone with openwork carved golden altar, sparkling scarlet color, all this creates a very strong impression. Here in the cathedral is the tomb where Christopher Columbus rests in peace.
Some things as smell and taste are very difficult to describe, as well as feelings or sensations. Then you begin, you quickly enough learn that these are just words… inside the space itself there is something big, something powerful, which goes beyond the limits of ordinary human life, and it’s tangible physically. It’s not my business to judge the moral of the achievements of the discoverer of the New World, but assessing the size of golden altar, the scale of the robbery is clear, nevertheless… this place still sounds an echo of its greatness. I felt it.
So, the first works were painted, it followed with others, and then a crisis broke out. I had to leave London and return to my home city Vilnius. At that time, I thought it wouldn’t be for long, may be for one year… ( who would know) It was a middle of a June, my Mom brought from local market a bouquet of beautiful peonies with irises to cheer me up and I’ve started to paint them. I used gold foil for the background of the paintings which was a kind of continuation of the golden altars theme and in the same time an echo of the Japanese painted screens. Later these two different short cycles were combined in one and entitled “The Gold of Seville”.
В 2008 году в Лондоне мне предложили поучаствовать в групповой выставке с темой “Готика”. У меня не возникло сомнений что мне изобразить для этого события. Дело в том, что пару месяцев до этого мы с моим другом путешествовали по Испании и заехали на день в Севилью, где посетили главную достопримечательность города Севильскую кафедру. За свою жизнь я повидала немало сакральной архитектуры. Если честно, люблю посещать такие места , (впрочем, как и местные рынки, но это другая история). В таких местах можно почувствовать какой внутренней жизнью живет город, его культурный контекст, к тому же это место, где обычно (если это не протестантский костел), собрано немало художественных ценностей, а это меня всегда интересовало. Севильская кафедра, бесспорно, шедевр готической архитектуры и это один из самый больших по величине католических соборов. Возможно, поэтому внутри ощущается бесконечная протяженность внутреннего пространства. Сочетание серого камня с ажуром резного золотого алтаря, полыхающего алым цветом, все это создает очень сильное впечатление. В соборе находиться гробница, где покоится Кристофер Колумб. Возможно, меня не поймут, так как некоторые вещи трудно описать словами (это как описать вкус или запах. Ты можешь говорить кислое, сладкое, но это всего лишь слова…) так вот, внутри в самом пространстве есть что-то большое, что-то могучее, выходящее за пределы обычной человеческой жизни и это ощутимо физически. Не мне судить моральную сторону достижений первооткрывателя Нового света, конечно, оценивая величину золотого алтаря понятен масштаб грабежа, все же… место это до сих пор еще звучит отголоском его величия. Так мне почувствовалось.
Первые две работы были написаны, потом пополнились еще парой, а потом грянул кризис. И мне пришлось покинуть Лондон и вернуться домой в Вильнюс. В то время я думала, что это ненадолго, максимум на год… Был июнь, самый разгар цветения. Мама, чтобы я не грустила принесла с рынка букет прекрасных пионов и ирисов. И я села их писать. Для фона я использовала золотую фольгу, что было своего рода продолжением темы золотых алтарей и отголоском японских золотых расписных ширм. Так из двух разных по стилистике и теме коротких циклов, родилась серия работ, под названием “Золото Севильи”.

Biography
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.

solo exhibition "Vėjo ošimas“/ “Wind rustle"
Dear friends, I kindly invite you to visit my solo exhibition "Vėjo ošimas“/ “Wind rustle", which is taking place now at the Compensa Concert Hall, Vilnius. The exhibition features 25 paintings and drawings created over the last three years. The exhibition runs until 25 of February. Chin-chin! :)

Exhibition "Pre-Quadrennial'2022. LDS Communities: gangs, groups and individuals"
Artists, for the most part, are individualists. Rarely one needs a team to create the product, except for large projects. For all their love of creating alone, artists sometimes join together in creative unions. This is how sculptors and stained-glass artists come together for technical reasons. Ceramicists also like to share a common workspace. And then there are communities of artists who are united not by technological processes, but by a desire to share philosophical and aesthetic values; or they are united by friendship. This exhibition brings together the Artworks of various currently active creative groups.
About 10 years ago, I joined a group of artists called the “Secret Society of Draughtsmen”/ “Slaptoji piešiančiųjų draugija”, who over the years had come together to draw professionally from life. At first the group was formed by people who had graduated from the Department of Monumental Painting, but gradually stained-glass artists, sculptors, graphic artists, designers, and architects joined it. Each with his own unique style of work, but all of us, I think, are united by a love of live drawing and a moral aesthetic attitude toward the beauty of the human body.
A very interesting and timely concept of the exhibition curated by Aistė Kisarauskaitė and supported by the Lithuanian Union of Artists /LDS/, bringing together many different creative groups. I am very happy that my work has been included in this exhibition, which is being held at the Panevezys Civic Art Gallery and is a general rehearsal for next year's Vilnius Quadrennial.

Exhibition “SILENT GARDEN" / "TYLUSIS SODAS"
Exhibition of paintings and drawings “SILENT GARDEN" at the art gallery "Fojė", Trakai.
"My garden is made of roses, wild grasses, white rabbits running through cabbage blossoms, roots looking to the sky, my dreams and memories. A garden where past and present, fiction and reality are intricately combined, something that is inside but cannot be perceived until it manifests itself outside."
In this exhibition, the series of figurative drawings "Secret Garden" is combined with recent paintings dominated by plants.

personal exhibition "Will everything be grass again?"
On February 24, I entered the studio, looked at the work I had begun, and sadly thought that all this was not important. Today it doesn't matter at all. A year ago, when I was planning this series of works, the issues of ecology of the surrounding world and individual existentialism seemed very significant and relevant. But war turns everything upside down and exposes other values such as peace, freedom and human dignity. It sounds like a poster in peacetime, but today, against the background of destroyed cities, millions of disturbed lives and numerous human losses, this becomes very important and basic, without which all other questions become just empty forms.
I believe that one day peace will come and one will begin to pay attention to issues of ecology and human existence.
In this series of works, I combined two topics that are important for me: the attitude towards nature as part of one's living space and the existential question of the individual personality.
In the cycle, I mix paintings with views of pines that protect the dunes from marine corrosion; views of flowering meadows with fragments of vintage sculptures drowning in flowers and photographs of garbage left in the forest, taken during walks in the nearest surroundings. When I stumble upon something like this, usually in very beautiful, picturesque corners of nature, I ask myself: where in human nature does the need to destroy the beautiful come from? When I think about it, I find a lot of suggestions, but perhaps one of the main answers is: “it will all be overgrown with grass over time.”
Which, in general, become an epigraph for this exhibition: “in the end everything will be grass again”.

"Watergang" by Mario Alonso
One of the nice gifts from last year was this small-sized book "Watergang" by French author Mario Alonso. Many thanks to the publishing house le Tripode for choosing one of my favorite paintings “Baltic Sea” as the cover for this wonderful book. I wish them great worldwide recognition.

mini solo exhibition of painting and graphics by Natalie Levkovska
„What's up, Bunny?“ / “Kas nutiko, Bunny?” 
The exhibition features Natalie Levkovska's this year different cycle paintings and drawings. The exhibit reveals the author's desire to tell common human stories, to convey different psychological states and moods through recognizable images, and to look at one's life problems and experiences with a smile.

The pandemic has dramatically affected many aspects of our cultural life: canceled exhibitions, concert tours, performances, industrial fairs and sporting events postponed indefinitely. Therefore, I was very pleased when art project "Neatšaukti atidarymai" where artists could virtually present their works to the public was initiated by V. Dambrauskas.
And, of course, I would like to mention the project "Menas be stogo" organized by JCDecaux Lietuva with the support of the Vilnius Municipality, where hundreds of artists during the pandemic have presented their works on the streets of the city.
I am very happy to participate in this project. Thanks to the organizers and my beloved City for such a great opportunity!

Пандемия сильно повлияла на многие аспекты нашей культурной жизни: отменённые выставки, концертные туры, спектакли, перенесенные на неопределенное время промышленные ярмарки и спортивные мероприятия. Поэтому очень порадовало, когда появились отдельные личности, такие как В. Дамбраускас со своим арт проектом „Neatšaukti atidarymai“, в котором художники могли виртуально представить публике свои работы и таким образом компенсировать невозможность в живую открыть выставку своих работ.
И конечно, хочу отметить проект „Menas be stogo“ организованный JCDecaux Lietuva при поддержке Вильнюсского самоуправления, где сотни художников во время пандемии представили свои работы на улицах города.
Очень рада поучаствовать в этом проекте. Спасибо организаторам и моему любимому городу за столь прекрасную возможность!

Little turtle’s life begins. After nearly 20 years of break, it’s nice to sculpt something, maybe not so big ang great, something rather small and cozy, like a little turtle. It’s just a beginning and I’m not sure about the final result. But we shall see.

Great and touching creativity ......!
Dear Edwin Loftus, I am not sure that you will get an answer from me on Artmajeur, I don’t know how the system of correspondence between the participants works here. If to be honest, I don't know how to express my gratitude to someone. But if you get my answer, I would like to say "Thank You and please may G-d bless You".
I have loved others of Levkovska's works before, but this one is so near perfect, I could not let it pass without expressing my praise and admiration. Her description does not mention the hundred thousand worthy skills and issues she had to master to be able to make all of the right decisions and be able to carry them out, to bring this image into existence. I would think more highly of myself if I had made this image. But darn it! Levkovska has already done it, and I am left stewing in my jealousy ...
Dear Edwin Loftus, that is probably best kompliment what I have ever received in my professional as an artist life. I deeply touched. Thank You very much! And best luck in your life, with gratitude from winter Vilnius. Natalie
Wau, I didn't know about it. Thanks, dear Edwin Loftus. I will try to find them on Youtube.
Sony and Cher wrote and originally recorded this song.
I find Natlie's work dreamy, like the half-real perceptions as I first awaken or begin to fall asleep. Reading her statements it is clear that there is a near balanced combination of sub-verbal intuition, imagination, and craftsmanship in her work that appears to be regulated by an intelligent honesty as she discovers the narratives behind her initial observations. I've liked her work before and like it even more today. If I wasn't her competition with walls filled with my own visions, I would want to have her art in my home.
Merci Corinne Sassi, très gentille.
Superbe création, bravo.
Dear Frances Eric Dimarucut, thank you for your art. It's beautiful!
Thank you Nathalie for choosing my artwork to your beautiful collections
This is an adorable drawing created with a great attention to detail and overall effect. It's so happy! I've loved your work previously and love this.
