There are some jobs that are never quite done.
Gardeners know this. Even if one day you have tidied up your area perfectly, the next day you can start all over again. And the reason is not because you missed something, but because all living things are by nature aggressive and chaotic.
The other day I sat in the middle of the garden and for a moment I carefully contemplated an activity that is usually excluded from my field of vision; I looked at the growth of weeds, the movement of thousands of insects in the grass and tree branches, the movement of birds, the sun, the wind - a myriad of factors constantly at work. And I looked at everything from the outside and saw myself alone, straining and sweating on this battlefield for my perfect garden bed. All this gardening and agrarian activity is very similar to Sisyphus' labor. Hard work, which, in fact, has no end (well, relatively, of course).
At times my inner voice tells me to drop it all and go paint, write, sculpt, create!... life is ticking along.
But how delicious my own homegrown pickles are. How Uma and I love them. And sour but my own apples and sweet courgettes, which you get so overloaded by the end of the season that you don't even want to think about them for a long time afterwards.. I love my flower beds and freshly cut grass. And I love this thankless Sisyphean labor.
This is a one-of-a-kind drawing made by me in tempera and colored pencils on 340 gsm. cardboard. The drawing was fixed with professional spray varnish for gouache drawings for preservation. The image is signed by hand on the front side. Not framed.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Tempera

Paint based on an emulsion, greasy or lean with a pigment. Traditionally it is a painting using egg yolk, a natural emulsion, or whole egg as a medium to bind pigments.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

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.

Natalie Levkovska

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.
