illustrating her literary works by drawings, GIFs and full-size pictures in an acrylic
technique.
“Having
written the poem, I usually can’t stop. Some images appear in my head and demand
to be painted. Sometimes the way from a poem to a picture takes several years.
The image is infused in me like wine and, while it is incomplete, it acts up
and tortures me until full completion, and only afterwards I am allowed to
embody it into a picture or an illustration. Still, some images can’t get
enough of it and they want to come to life, to start moving, so I have to obey
and follow them like a slave, without having any rest or sleep.”
Some
images, having turned into pictures, separate from the poem and keep on living
as independent works.
