Black horse on a red chessboard (2021) Drawing by Natalie Levkovska

“Black horse on a red chessboard”
Elegant black horse pranks on a red chessboard.
You may have won one battle, but right now around the corner, the Game goes on again.
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😊.
The drawing is from the series of works "What’s up, Bunny?" created between 2021 and 2022. This collection 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.
This is a one-of-a-kind drawing made by me in gouache and colored pencils on high quality paper. The image is signed by hand on the front side.
Not framed.

Возможно, вы выиграли эту сражение, но прямо за углом вас ждет другая Игра.
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😊.
