In 2021 I worked on book design and illustration for my mom's new poetry book.
- The story about the illustrations, read: HERE!
- The book was published on December 25, 2021.
- You can read an article about my mom's book: HERE!
- The book was submitted to a book art competition "Zelta ābele 2021". On March 10, I was invited to a press conference about the competition, which took place at the Latvian National Museum of Art. It was a great honor to be there! Video here:
- The book can be purchased in my store: HERE!
- Some pictures how book design and illustrations were made!
- Of all illustrations I created, I included only one in the book - "Nefertiti" in the center, as a dream, as the flow of time, as an idea of something dreamy, far and unreachable... Red line - a small tonal accent with a big meaning. The meaning of the color of red.
- The other drawings began their life as independent ones miniature works of art.
