Illustration of the book about Ria
“Goodbye !My name is Ria.As you can see, today I was in a strange and quiet place.In the morning I got up, as always, drinking coffee and went to look for inspiration for my work.The searches lasted a long time, and here I am going through narrow streets, filled with people, with a laptop, my faithful and unique friend, on my shoulders.People go there and there, someone runs, someone talks by phone, the officers walk between the chairs, and even people sitting behind those chairs, somewhere rush.It’s an impression that everyone lives in an accelerated pace of life.And now I’ll tell you why the place I found today seemed to me strange.Walking through this hurrying crowd of people, I started accelerating the pace, as if that rhythm wanted to catch me and take me with it.When it almost happened, I heard the sound of a boiling teaspoon and the curse that it was not recorded.My surprise had no boundaries.My legs stopped, my head turned back, and I saw a simple old shop, behind which the grandfather stood, and next to it a cabbage.On the face of this grandfather was a snorkeling, and his smile could educate the whole world.A man was sitting and slowly eaten something that smelled very good.It seemed that time was slowed.It was a wonderful fireplace of peace, light and good.That’s where I decided to work today.And I didn’t regret it.Tea, the amazing stories of my grandfather and conversations with a constant customer filled me with inspiration.And there was such a wonderful illustration with a wonderful story.“
