If only life could be divided like a chessboard and who to play for: today for white, and tomorrow for black. But we are mostly neither white nor black, we are somewhere in between; most often we are Dapple-Gray horses.
As a child, I really liked horses, and the entire wall of my room was decorated with posters, my drawings and photographs of horses. I remember how I drew them everywhere in a childish way. When at the age of 9 I was brought to a drawing class, where mostly adults were involved in drawing, the first thing I saw there was a plaster horse. “I want to draw her,” I said, to which the wise teacher A.S. Lukatsky said that the right to draw a horse still needs to be earned, and one must start with a ball and a cube. I think now I have earned the right to draw my horse, and more than one😊.

Если б жизнь можно было поделить как шахматную доску и выбрать за кого играешь: сегодня за белых, а завтра – за черных.
Но мы по большей части ни белые и не черные, мы где-то между; чаще всего мы - серые в белое яблочко.
В детстве мне очень нравились лошади и в моей комнате вся стена была увешана фотографиями с лошадьми, и я хоть и не умело по-детски их постоянно рисовала. Когда в 9 лет меня привели в кружок рисунка, где по большей части рисунком занимались взрослые люди, то первое, что я там увидела была гипсовая лошадь. “Хочу ее рисовать” - сказала я, на что мудрый преподаватель А.С. Лукацкий сказал, что право рисовать лошадь нужно еще заслужить, и начнем мы с шара и куба. Думаю, что теперь я заслужила право нарисовать свою лошадку, и не одну😊.

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.
