I saw this bust of a man in Užutrakio Dvaras Park. Away from the central paths, the sculpture, with the inscription L'HIVER on a stone pedestal, represented the seasons, namely Winter.

I saw this bust of a man in Užutrakio Dvaras Park. Away from the central paths, the sculpture, with the inscription L'HIVER on a stone pedestal, represented the seasons, namely Winter. As I contemplated the facial features of this not-young, bearded man, I thought about the sculptor and his model. Who were these people, what was their relationship? Who knows.
In my painting, I decorated the cloth covering the masculine body and the turban covering the head in bright colors, placing one amidst a flowering garden. I painted the eyes alive, blue-green, and adorned the skin with faded tattoos; thus, merging the inanimate matter of the sculpture with the once living man. The male sculpture's gaze contemplates the flight of a blue butterfly, a symbol of evanescent beauty.
And also, with this work I wanted to capture the experience of being cold on a hot summer day. So, in the middle of summer, you suddenly feel chilled and no sweater can take away your inner shivering. That's why I called this work "Winter in Summer".
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.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
