Well, it has definitely been a while now since I have gotten around to write something for my website or at least to upload some of the works I managed to finish in the last months... I guess it has also to do with the fact that I haven't quite found my routine yet. Specifically, a way to either extend the 24h-day to a 48h one or to get the household/grocery shopping etc. stuff done the Sabrina-way - magic would be nice sometimes! - so that I can concentrate only on what I please :) Then again, I'm pretty sure that if the day was 48h long, I would still find a way to lose myself in the various topics of interest I have, so that somehow I still wouldn't get enough sleep :D A couple of weeks ago, I bought two small drawer cabinets, to get some order again...

It all started with the fading color on one of my artworks. Not only was this one pretty time-consuming to finish because of the size, but the fading color was the predominant color in the drawing and it simply made me sad seeing it get lost so soon. It wasn't difficult to establish the "culprit" for this color fading happening so fast. The picture frame of the drawing hung in a very bright room - lots of windows, sun was shining in the room for the most part of the day. I realized, I needed a backup plan for my artwork, since it was suddenly clear, how quick all can get lost.  Two different work processes resulted from this sudden awareness - I started to scan my work and looked for a way to protect the finished artworks. I needed something to protect my drawings from the sun - some...

10 years flew by since Dumitru Mihaica agreed to try to custom make the first pair of Argentine tango dancing shoes for my friend, Maria, in his workshop in Timisoara. 10 years, many, many pairs and dancing experiences later, he built the dancing shoes line My Tango Shoes by Mono and continues to develop it based on the feedback he gets from Argentine tango dancers. Always creative and inquisitive, he holds on to the openness that got this project started in the first place and sometimes collaborates with other artists in order to continuosly improve and beautify his dancing shoes and not only. I was lucky enough to get to be one of these artists and am currently working on a series of artworks inspired by my dancing Argentine tango. I entitled this one the Freedom Series, since freedom is for me the feeling best describing what I get to...

Leia 1: “So, what is it that you do?” Leia 2: “What do you mean?...Like, right now?!” Leia 1: “No, silly :) I know what you’re doing right now – you’re talking to yourself again. Talking and not really listening, I might add.” Leia 2: “What I do…I draw. First, I draw and then, I'll paint. After I paint, I will scan what I drew and painted and have fun with all the possibilities offered by digital manipulation. The more I learn about it and lean into it, the more I enjoy the creative freedoom I discover!  Leia 1: “This is all very exciting, but I was hoping to hear from you what it is you are LOOKING for through all these steps. Steps which took you long enough to take, since you have to learn from scratch what you don’t know regarding this craft and we are both aware, that’s...
