"Melancholy" Like last year, our group of artists began to meet once a week to draw from live model. This time a young woman posed, and the drawing turned out to be such that it was not clear when it was drawn: maybe now, or maybe a hundred years ago. In the studio, I completed it with a background.

"Melancholy"
Like last year, our group of artists began to meet once a week to draw from live model. This time a young woman posed, and the drawing turned out to be such that it was not clear when it was drawn: maybe now, or maybe a hundred years ago. In the studio, I completed it with a background.
This is a real place that we accidentally found while wandering around the island of Corfu by car. On a mountain overlooking the valley, under the shade of old olive trees, among the ruins of centuries-old stone stairs and an abandoned garden, you suddenly feel a sense of amazing surrounding beauty and unreasonable sadness, which deprives you of confidence in the meaningfulness of your existence and some kind of human impotence in the face of the future.
There are such places or events that put ones in a timeless position, when the very concept of time disappears and it is impossible to determine whether everything is happening now or it happened sometime in the distant past.

Меланхолия
Как и в прошлом году наш кружок начал собираться раз в неделю, чтобы порисовать с натуры. В этот раз позировала молодая женщина и рисунок получился такой, что было непонятно, когда он был нарисован: может сейчас, а может сто лет назад. В студии я дополнила его фоном.
Это реальное место, которое мы случайно нашли, блуждая на машине по острову Корфу. На горе с видом на долину, под сенью старых оливковых деревьев, среди обломков вековых каменных лестниц и заброшенного сада, вдруг проникаешься чувством удивительной окружающей красоты и беспричинной грусти, что лишает уверенности в осмысленности своего существования и какого-то человеческого бессилия перед лицом будущего.
Есть такие места или события, которые ставят нас во вневременную позицию, когда исчезает само понятие времени и невозможно определить то ли все происходит сейчас или это происходило когда-то в далеком прошлом.

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.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
