INTRODUCING VARVARA ALAY
LITERARY INTERPRETATION – FROM CINDIA
THEME IN THE NOVEL: WORLD-BUILDING
It all began with the grand villa. A place with a bit of magic and mystery that opens its doors to welcome and warn some of its guests. But what else belongs to this wondrous world? And who will belong? How will they interact? What choices will be made? And how will the grand villa transform them? This is a place where colors, stories, and the imagination intertwine. Those who engage will also be touched by a special spirit where reality and the magical coexist.
ARTIST’S INTERPRETATION OF BELONGING
This world of fantasy and creativity was created for people who want to go on an extraordinary journey through the imagination! My piece is aimed at teaching people not to be afraid to dream. By playing with textures, volumes, colors and most importantly imagination, I created my unique and fantastical world. It will immerse you in a world of wonders, where you will learn the stories of all the characters, follow their lives, and even begin to create your own unique world.
