Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was dreaming all the time, who lived in a world of his own. Whose eyes began to shine every time her mother read to her from the heavy, white fairytale book before going to bed. Who used to paint and draw for hours imagining figures and adventures. Who felt best beeing outside, the fresh air in her hair, her feet in the soft grass. Who enjoyed the silence and deepness of the woods, the full green, the earthy odour. Who pictured mythical creatures and fairies behind every tree and bush. That little girl was me.
My fairytale-themed pictures are near and dear to me. I want to tell stories through them, awaken deep, almost forgotten childhood memories, be creative. At that, it’s not (only) about famous and classical fairytales but about some enchanted, mysterious feeling. The effort is very different – sometimes I’m planning for months, thinking about every detail of the shot whereas at other times an idea comes to life rather spontaneously.
