An image will be worth a thousand words, but the illustrator is always in the shadow of the writer.
Sometimes texts are just excuses for making books, and the work of the illustrator becomes more important than that of the writer. Thankfully, more and more people realize that drawings are not just decorative.
They're not, are they?
Ours is a total creative work. My job is to think, to decide what, where and how I'm going to wear it. I tell my stories with other people's stories. Although based on the texts of others, my world always appears.
You should call this your own style, it looks great.
I draw what comes out of my gut. Doing what comes out of me the way I do it makes sense to me. That’s the only way to maintain style. What's the style if it's not who you are?
Isn't the style repeating what works until you've spent it?
That’s not style, it’s fashion, and fashion is never sustainable. It's worth the time that passes and lasts.
Do you also have beauty with the matraka that is inside?
I love the aesthetics. I need beauty to feel good. If I don't like something, I'll hardly go any further. I can hardly sit in a restaurant that I thought was a cutre, if I don’t know beforehand that it eats perfectly.
Having such an unstable job choosing the restaurant!
I don't know if it's because of the nature or because I've always had a job so far, but it's not something that bothers me. What’s more, the absence of fear helps things to turn out well. The one who has to come will come, and if he doesn't come, do something else and you're done.
That’s what the mathematics teacher who didn’t know how to draw us to be able to have the whole job told us.
If all children draw, why do so few adults draw? Why isn’t drawing more important in school? If we had an image criterion, we would see the world differently.
Yes, yes, but even then you'd illustrate it for the kids.
I don’t illustrate it for children or adults, I illustrate it for myself. How do I draw for someone else? How will I know what you like? It's just impossible.
True art is impossible to explain.
The work does not need to be explained. If you don't see it, you don't see it and that's it. I too often see what I’ve done and what someone else has said. But I trust myself. Even if I don't know why, and whether I'm wrong or not, I know I have to do what I'm doing. n n n n n n n n
