Winter in Summer (2023) Tablo Natalie Levkovska tarafından

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.
