Artist's Comments

I decided to work some more on one of my images, this is the final version of it.
The previous version ( and few Ps addings) : [link]


* 15.5 cm/ 15.5cm * pencils 2B-8B + 0.35 Rotring + Factis eraser+ acrylic colors/glitter *

This is just a small draw I made as a cover for a book which I love deeply. It contains 2 novels by Mircea Eliade, "Miss Christina" and "The Snake" . The first one reflects our local ancient beliefs , about an "undead" soul which can't find it's peace , and it is hunting a place/persons ( or what we called in the modern world a"vampire" , but this is such an empty word, it has nothing from the original sense in it). She always came out during night-time and she is always preceded by a magical/poisoned perfume of violets .... At some symbolical level I really identify myself with this creature, and violet is my favourite color since forever, so this is why I used one of my pic as a reference.
You should really read these novels .
The other novel, "The Snake" - is about the eternal search of love, the immortality of soul, avatars, and how all these inner feelings rise even from the most common existence. Like 2 different worlds living together, the ordinary existence being nothing more but a "camouflage" for the other, THE ETERNAL one that exist from the beginning of time.
