About The Artwork

Once there were roses growing around my terrace, and on summer evenings a toad would appear under the bushes, a creature of strange appearance and extremely rare for city streets. After a couple of years of one harsh winter, the roses died out and had to be replaced by less fanciful plants, then for some reason the toad stopped coming to my terrace as well. Such an amazing correlation. There is something subtly beautiful about fallen rose petals lying in pink hearts on the black ploughed ground. The work is painted in oil on canvas in a quick sketchy manner, but with every petal and blade of grass rendered. Every stroke of the brushstroke is visible. There is a certain incompleteness and understatement in the painting, which gives it internal dynamics and a certain psychological tension. The picture shows a hand with a toad in its palm on a carpet of rose petals on the black earth.

For the past few years, I have been concentrating on the theme of animate and inanimate nature. Starting with the theme of roots and delving into the beauty and variety of small details of flowering meadows. In the context of nature, I include lonely images of people as an integral part of the living world. In depicting human beings, for me, it is not only their physical beauty that is important, but also the transmission of their momentary mood, psychological well-being. Sometimes in my drawings I allow myself to be ironic about myself and what I find funny or remarkable in other people. But at the same time, I consciously avoid depressive and aggressive images, because it contradicts my inner ethic not to multiply the violence in the world. I would like to classify my work as Magical Realism, but I think my work reflects more of a psychological Existentialism, looking for its embodiment in natural motifs. 1995-1999 studies at Vilnius Academy of Arts and in 1999. Bachelor's degree in Costume Design; 1990-1995 studies at the Abramtsevo College of Applied Arts and in 1995 obtained a bachelor's degree in stone, bone and wood processing from an artist-master. After the Academy, she worked as a costume designer at the Lithuanian Film Studio, and later as a fur designer in Šilutė. 2006 went to England, where she changed her creative profile, began working in a White Allom studio in London as an artist-decorator, and at the same time began painting with oil. Since 1995 participates in exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad. Natalie have organized 22 personal exhibitions, participated in 16 joint paintings and drawings exhibitions. Member of the Lithuanian Artists' Association since 2020.
