“Last year’s flowers”. A bush of flowers grows on the entrance to my garden. Usually he is not particularly beautiful for me. Nothing special.

“Last year’s flowers”
A bush of flowers grows on the entrance to my garden. Usually he is not particularly beautiful for me. Nothing special. But in winter, its leaves fold in a certain way and become similar to the architectural elements of the Baroque times. The combination of silvery color with pinkish stems - it all looks very paintable. I could not resist.

На подходе к моему саду растет куст цветов. Обычно он не представляет для меня особой красоты. Куст как куст. Но зимой листья его сворачиваются определенным образом и становятся похожими на архитектурные элементы времен Барокко. Сочетание серебристого цвета с розоватыми стеблями – все это выглядит очень живописно. Не могла пройти мимо.

This painting is from series of works “Roots”.
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.

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:
