I have just finished project dedicated to italian writer Gianni Rodary. I did illustrations inspired by his book "Ill Romanzo di Copillino". It's one of my favorite childhood books about Little Onion, who is brave enough to rebel against greedy King Lemon and mean Senior Tomato.
I tried to show, in pictures I created, a adventurous and brave characteristics of Little Onion and dynamic spirit of the book.
Illustrations for Gabriel Garcia Marquez's story"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings". Story is about family who discovers an old man with huge wings in their yard, presumably, fallen from sky. They lock him with chickens and earn lots of money by showing old man with enormous wings to curious crowds. Until everyone gets fed up, because old man doesn't talk understandable language or show any magic. Finally, onlookers finds new attractions, like a girl who was turned into a spider. She is much more exciting because she can talk: explain what happened to her. While oLd man with enormous wings is forgotten in a mud at the edge of yard. For everyone is such a relief when he finally flies away.
The eternal circle of life and death. It always starts with two people and then ends up with over populated world. Even the flood couldn't deprive humanity, it came back and sins even more.
I am not sure who I am …
I might be an artist or an illustrator … ?
I might as well be a craftswoman,
But I know for sure what I do:
I collect curious things and materials, some times I draw, but mostly I make creatures. They are the ones which comes out of childhood dreams, maybe threatens but at the same time charms with the odd ugliness. And most of all I like photography; it is like looking at the world with different pair of eyes then my own. Camera can see the object in different light, draw attention to something and create illusions.
