“My Dreams”
When 3-4 years ago at the international exhibition of textiles and wallpapers in Frankfurt, I first saw soft pink and blue interiors with round pouffes and gilded details, my inner designer shuddered "where is the world heading?" I thought. At that moment, I seriously thought about why, why, as a consumer, I was offered to live in such an infantile-childish world. Now, after years, I even sometimes like these design solutions, but the question remains open. After thinking carefully, I decided that humanity is very tired of so much constantly forcing information flow, of endless instability, social rotation and change; and wants, as in childhood, to curl up and hide in his cozy pink-baby little world. It is curious that just a hundred years ago, boys were dressed in pink, and girls were dressed in sky blue. How things have changed.
At that time, a young, well-developed, handsome man posed in our class. In my opinion, his position was not difficult, but he could not lie down without movement even for 10 minutes. In general, his posing was more like an eel dancing on a hot frying pan. None of the artists dared to make a remark to him in fear that he would be offended and leave us. I have never seen our female models behave like this, given that they have to stand for 20 minutes without moving in more difficult angles.
Yes, apparently the world is changing: women are becoming more resilient and self-confident, and men are becoming more and more spoiled and gentle.
Therefore, for this drawing, I chose such an unusual combination of colors: soft pink with sky blue. And on the foreground is a spinning top as a reminder of the illusory nature and changeability of our world. In the background behind the figure are poems by the Lithuanian poet R. Liutkevičius.

Когда 3-4 года назад на международной выставке текстиля и обоев во Франкфурте я впервые увидела нежно розово-голубые интерьеры с круглыми пуфами и золоченными деталями мой внутренний дизайнер содрогнулся "куда катиться мир?" – подумала я. В тот момент я серьезно задумалась, почему, почему мне как потребителю предлагают жить в таком инфантильно-детском мире. Сейчас по происшествию лет, мне даже порой нравятся эти дизайнерские решения, но вопрос остается открытым. Хорошенько подумав, я решила, что человечество очень устало от такого количества постоянно нагнетающего информационного потока, от бесконечной нестабильности, социальной ротации и перемен; и хочет, как в детстве, свернуться калачиком и спрятаться в своем уютно розово-бейбиковском мирке. Любопытно, что всего сто лет назад в розовый цвет одевали мальчиков, а девочек наряжали в небесно- голубой. Как все поменялось.
В тот раз у нас в классе позировал молодой, хорошо физически развитый красивый мужчина. На мой взгляд поза у него была не сложная, но он не мог улежать без движения и 10 минут. В общем его позирование больше напоминал танец угря на раскаленной сковородке. Никто из художников не посмел ему сделать замечание в страхе, что он обидится и уйдет не до позировав. Ни разу не видела, что бы наши девушки-модели так себя вели, учитывая, что им приходится стоять по 20 минут без движения в более сложных ракурсах.
Да, видимо мир меняется: женщины становятся все более выносливыми и уверенными в себе, а мужчины – все более избалованными и нежными.
Поэтому для этого рисунка я выбрала столь необычное сочетание цветов: нежно розовый с голубым. А волчок на первом плане, как напоминание об иллюзорности и переменчивости нашего мира. На фоне за фигурой стихи литовского поэта R. Liutkevičius.

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.
