About The Artwork
The human psyche is so constructed that at the moment of greatest danger, on the brink of survival, when faced with the threat of imminent death, an inexorable desire to live rises in one in a wave and this is largely related to sexual energy. I painted this work two months after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. At that moment most of us seriously felt that mankind was on the brink of a world nuclear war. The feeling of anxiety, a kind of powerlessness in the face of an impending catastrophe was so strong that I stood at my easel with my hands shaking and cried. And suddenly, in the midst of a stream of disturbing news from the front, someone wrote that the frogs had started their mating season. And this lively, simple news resonated with me, made me smile as it was something sweet, bright and reassuring. So, I painted two pieces at once: one with mating frogs and this one with a symbolic depiction of the ancient male phallus as the cause of all causes. The composition of the work is extremely simple: in a small opening in a thicket of wild grapes, you can see part of the male antique sculpture, more precisely the lower part of the torso. A small blue butterfly flutters around the stone phallus as a symbol of life and transience. 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.

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.
