It is very difficult to enter the creation world of Margarita Levin, but it is more difficult to release from its magic control and this is not a metaphor, but it is a very direct and precise meaning of the subject. At the beginning you feel some invisible barrier, that separates the spectator from the picture, and after some time, releasing from the spiritual deafness and the dross of the common stereotypes, you can overcome the barrier. And from this point begins the very complicated and difficult rising to the understanding of the Upper Wisdom, governing the universe.
Her pictures aren't the illustration to some mystic statements, but art works, that were created in the process of deep emotional and creative feeling of existence.
These pictures may and should be described with the use of aesthetic criteria. Beauty and color harmony, wholeness of the compositions, guided by the logic and ideal intuition, contradiction and agreement of the forms, that at the beginning seem to be not belonging, but have a huge symbolic load, escape from the "real" 3D into other dimension of the infinite space of the cosmos- and all this in a high, professional level.
In the cycle of works "Rapiss-effect", based on the discovery of the professor E.Rapiss in the field of the protein self-organization, Margarita Levin aspires to the knowledge and artistic interpretation of the structure of microcosm with the following exit, but already at the new stage of the scientific, mystic and artistic knowledge into the deepness of the macrocosm. The search for the creating formula of undividable union of macro and microcosm, as an evidence of the Upper Wisdom of the Creator, leads to the synthesis between kabala, science and art and this might be a start point in creating the new genre of the art.
Regarding all her being immersed into the mystic and intellectual atmosphere of tensed spiritual and creative research, Margarita Levin remains artist that emotionally reacts to the impulses of the real and not only imaginative world. This is the reason, why the winter landscapes among her art works are understood naturally. It causes us to remember about the tradition of Russian and European landscape lyric, and art works of her teacher Vladimir Weisberg. The spiritualizing of every stroke and every motive, precise consideration about color nuances, the originality of compositions places these landscapes among the successes of this artist. Thus they approve richness and wideness of the creative diapason of Margarita Levin, that includes unobservable spaces from far cosmos till protein cells under the microscope and from phantasmagoria of "The Heaven Jerusalem" till the bare patch on the road covered by the snow…
