While walking around Užutrakio Dvaras, just on the outskirts of the park I came across a copy of this beautiful sculpture; sunk in the tall grass, invisible from the main paths and as if slightly forgotten. Cast in a sweet slumber, the head of a woman, once a living goddess, amidst a swarm of midges, buzzing bees, and lightly colored butterflies. It stirred in me a strange feeling on the verge of euphoria, mixed with an out-of-temporal sadness of realizing the transience of summer and a sense of infinite rebirth of youth and beauty imprinted in the stone.
My goddess is buried in herbs and flowers, the whiteness of her powerful, beautiful body rivalling the many colors of summer. The vivid blue and purple lupines are like multicolored candles against the backdrop of her powerful, draped body.
This painting is part of the “Roots and Grasses in the Wind” series, created between 2019 and 2022. The series is based on images of natural objects such as tree roots, grasses, flowers and animals. Occasionally, lonely human figures appear in this background as an integral part of this world.

Personally, I prefer to send oil paintings stretched on a frame, but over a long distance this can significantly increase the cost of shipping. Therefore, I suggest, at the request of the client, if the work allows (not all works can be removed from the stretcher and twisted), remove the canvas from the stretcher and send it rolled in a tube. This will save you a considerable amount of money. I can put parts of the stretcher in the same tube so that you can use them by giving them to the nearest salon for framing pictures. Please let me know if you are satisfied with my offer.

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.
