The autofiction of illustrator and mother of three children Svetlana Dorosheva, who worked for three months at an art residence in Shanghai, opens up a free and sometimes shocking world of contemporary art and creative people. But the longer the artist is in such a bright and strange artistic environment, the more she asks the question: is it worth striving for the glory of a Real Artist? After all, ordinary life is also a constant performance and an eternal amazing installation. Svetlana Dorosheva’s very sober and ironic view is complemented by atmospheric illustrations and a wreath of sonnets “Hypnoerotomachy”, which transports the reader at the end of the book into the space of contemplative poetry. Svetlana Dorosheva is an illustrator. She graduated from art school and university with a degree in Foreign Philology and Literature. She lived in Zaporozhye and Kyiv, and has been living in Israel since 2009. Collaborates with Hollywood and major world publishing houses. Author of several books.
