Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Two weeks have passed since the dizzying success, when the entire cultural beau monde of the city finally found out who He was. That this is not just a man with a strangely shaped shaved head, worn shoes and flowered shirts. Not just an eccentric person muttering something under his breath, but he is a Poet, Writer, Dancer and Artist.
And here again, as if nothing had happened, you are lying in the classroom, on the floor under the spotlight, portraying someone. Although the posture is not difficult, the desire to emerge from the body and fly into your inner reality is much stronger. A reality where Eternal love exists, where diamonds are falling like stars in the August sky, where cupids start their playful games.
The process of creating the work begins with drawing in class with other artists from live model. Later in my studio, I finish drawing the details that help to reveal the image of model itself and tell the viewer a fictional story that I saw in the process of drawing. This time I use details in the Doodle style and echoes of old prints bringing a touch of frivolity and light irony into my refined world of dreams and nostalgia for a lost paradise. The light, faded range of colours creates a mood of melancholy and light timeless sadness.

RU-
Прошло две недели со дня головокружительного успеха, когда весь культурный бомонд города наконец узнал кто Он такой. Что это не просто человек со странной формой наголо бритой головой, в стоптанных башмаках и рубашках в цветочек. Не просто чудаковатый человек, что-то бормочущий себе под нос, а он – Поэт, Писатель, Танцор и Художник.
И вот опять, как будто ничего и произошло лежишь в классе, на полу под софитом, изображая кого-то. Хотя поза и не сложная, все-же желание вынырнуть из тела и улететь в свою внутреннюю реальность намного сильнее. Реальность, где существует Вечная любовь, где алмазы сыплются, как звезды в августовском небе, где амуры затевают свои шаловливые игры.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Lithuania

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.
