"Lobster fight "
Friends advised me to read the book of the popular author-psychologist J.B. Peterson "12 rules of life". The book is very interesting, with great personal experience of the author himself and good practical psychological advice. And it begins with a chapter that talks about lobsters: how they live in a difficult competition for territory, food and life, and that we humans are in some way very similar to these relatively simple creatures. Each of us, at least once in our life, has been in the position of a winner or a loser. This is inevitable in life. But if you weren’t lucky this time, don't give up. Straighten your back and straighten your shoulders!
My painting shows a moment of inner battle between two young women. At first glance, the advantage of the woman on the left is obvious: it is clear that she has a higher social status, as evidenced by her stylish look and self-confidence. The woman on the right seems to come from a simpler environment: her hair is not styled, a simple T-shirt with red and white stripes, and traces of blood on her face. It can be seen that this battle brings her more damage than her opponent. Still, the result is not so obvious - there is a lot of persistence in the eyes of both sides.

Друзья посоветовали прочитать книгу популярного автора-психолога Дж. Б. Питерсона “12 правил жизни”. Книга интереснейшая с большим количеством личного опыта самого автора и хорошими практическими психологическими советами. А начинается она с главы в которой говориться о лобстерах: о том, как они живут в трудной конкурентной борьбе за территорию, пищу и жизнь; и о том, что мы-люди в чем-то очень похожи на этих сравнительно простых существ. Каждый их нас хоть раз в жизни был в позиции победителя или проигравшего. Этого в жизни не избежать. Но если вам в этот раз не досталась не повезло – не сдавайтесь. Расправьте спину и распрямите плечи!
Моя работа показывает момент внутренней битвы между двумя молодыми женщинами. С первого взгляда как-бы очевидно преимущество женщины слева: видно, что у нее выше социальный статус, о чем говорят стильная внешность и уверенность в себе. Женщина справа, по-видимому, из более простой среды: волосы не уложены в прическу, простая полосатая майка и следы крови на лице. Видно, что это битва приносит ей больше урона чем сопернице. Но все же исход не так уж и очевиден – упорства в глазах обеим сторонам не занимать.

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.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

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.
