Book "Slova k obrázkům"

I'm delighted to introduce the book I created in collaboration with Helena Lněničková — a poet who translated my drawings into words and composed from them her own personal confession. Through her poems, you can look at my drawings through her eyes and experience one of their possible interpretations.

The author says about the creation of the poems:

"Nicol's drawings absolutely captivated me - they forced me to stare at them and let the emotions hidden inside wash over me. In moments of admiration and release, when I was completely absorbed by these powerful impressions, words began to come to me, words that captured the feelings and situations within them; sometimes an entire line appeared, later even full rhymes. With some drawings, nothing happened - but with others, I could feel a theme bubbling in the air and an urge to give form to something that hadn't yet condensed into words. And it was from those that a poem emerged.

I began writing down whatever floated around my mind, and under my hands, expressive phrases, descriptions, and punchlines started to surface - things I could never have invented beforehand. The poems were born in the act of writing itself, without a plan and without thinking too much; rather than actively inventing the words, I simply waited for them to come to me. Most of the poems were created in one go, between February and May 2022."
