"Unicorn and Eden Apple” When you first meet a smart, talented person, you think that he will be yours entirely. In any case, we really hope so in our hearts.

"Unicorn and Eden Apple”
When you first meet a smart, talented person, you think that he will be yours entirely. In any case, we really hope so in our hearts. But what if your chosen one, having once tasted from the Tree of Knowledge, couldn’t be able to stop?
In ancient times, the Unicorn was represented as a mythical creature symbolizing quest, chastity and spiritual purity in all its manifestations. The unicorn was described as a horse with a horn in its forehead. Nowadays, the legends of antiquity have faded and, in a sense, have lost their power and meaning. But the symbol of the one-horned horse has come to life in our days with new content. Most often, we call innovative companies the Unicorn, but I personally like to see incorrigible dreamers, visionaries and inventors behind this word, such as my uncle Aleksey was. I dedicate this small series of works to his memory.

“Единорог и Райское яблоко”
Когда впервые встречаешь умного, талантливого человека, думаешь, что он будет принадлежать тебе всецело. Во всяком случае, в сердцах мы очень на это надеемся. Но что, если ваш избранник, однажды вкусив с Древа Познания, не сможет остановиться?
В древности Единорог представлялся мифическим существом, символизирующим искания, целомудрие и духовную чистоту во всех ее проявлениях. Единорога изображали в виде коня с рогом во лбу. В наши дни легенды старины поблекли и в каком-то смысле потеряли свою силу и смысл. Но символ однорогого коня ожил в наши дни с новым наполнением. Чаще всего Единорогом мы называем инновационные компании, но лично мне нравиться за этим словом видеть неисправимых мечтателей, фантазеров и изобретателей, таких как был мой дядя Леша. Его памяти я посвящаю эту небольшую серию работ.

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.
