Romania-Insider.com has published a very good report about the famous artis Agnes Keszeg.
„It’s almost 7a.m. and Agnes Keszeg jumps out of her bed and goes directly to the big drawing table, full of papers, collages, dolls or objects from the flea market. With her bangs still a bit messy, she grabs the coffee and turns on her iMac. There is a new e-mail in her inbox: the Horoscope she drew for the Elle magazine in Spain will also be published in the Turkish edition of the magazine”, says Romania-Insider.com’s reporter.”The organised mess on the table mirrors the many projects she’s simultaneously working on, but now it’s the beginning of August and she’s less crowded. Today she’ll afford the luxury to only work on one project she started two years ago. She’s close to finishing the illustration for a short-story book called “At the Crossroads” written by Razvan Georgescu, a Romanian documentary filmmaker living in Germany. It’s the 26th book she has illustrated, a number a tiny smaller than her age.
As the morning light slowly gets into the room, after getting past the gatekeeper, a little dinosaur hanged on the window, Agnes cuts little pieces of paper in the shape of a truck, or a traffic sign. Since she has started working as a freelancer in 2008, Agnes has illustrated magazines, fashion collections, children’s books, postcards, scarves. But it was always working on books which offered her the possibility to experiment the most. For the current one, she has decided upon the collage technique and she’s working on it with her husband, the photographer Mihai Platica. They share the same studio, in their apartment in Cluj Napoca, a city Agnes really enjoys. There is something about its silence that fits her perfectly. There are enough things happening not to feel isolated, but not too many to keep her distracted”, says Romania-Insider.com.
