– It is very interesting for me to create different images, each time trying to understand what exactly the author wanted to say in order to convey his ideas. Most of all I like to do illustrations for dramatic works, to ponder upon the images of heroes. For example, I would very much like to illustrate the works of Shakespeare. I will never undertake to illustrate a book in which there is no drama at all, ”Assol shared.
