Introduction

Hello!!!
I am Nikita and i am an artist. A visual artist: i paint, i draw, i sketch and i illustrate.
I illustrate fashion, stories, other people's lives, books, etc...
Why fashion?
As a young girl I started with fashion probably for the fact i did not considered myself pretty or popular and did not liked to be in the center of attention anyway. Fashion attracted me visually, so drawing beautiful clothing and models made me feel comfortable and safe, secured away from the "light spots".

fragment din cartea " Un port la rasarit " de Radu Tudoran 

care scrie in cuprins :

" Nu cred ca Un port la rasarit ar fi cartea mea cea mai buna, dupa cum se tot spune...dar convin ca ma reprezinta atit de deplin, incit, atunci cind am pus punct dupa ultima fraza, m-am intrebat de ce a trebuit sa mai scriu si cartile urmatoare. 

Binenteles, fiindca nu se putea altfel ! "
