I met Faustina this summer at a plein air painting workshop in Tadas Ivanauskas Obelyne Homestead-Memorial Museum near Kaunas. A shy girl, with long limbs and the usual youthful angularity, a large forehead that reveals an intelligence beyond her years, a squinting gaze and a wide smile. I felt like capturing her youthful features, which will change very fast, very soon. This is how beautiful white swans grow out of gray, clumsy and seemingly unattractive chicks by the end of summer.

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.
