Tea Tales at Carturesti Bookshop & Teahouse

The drawings are on the wall of Cărturești "Verona", the biggest and the oldest bookshop from the Cărturești bookstore chain (there are 20 Cărturești shops in Romania at the moment). Cărtureşti is in fact more than a bookshop, it is a cultural venue that functions as a bookshop, tea studio, and project space. Here they host over 300 cultural events (from concert, book launches, to exhibitions and other events) per year. The bookstore has a teahouse where one can enjoy browsing through the books as he drinks his tea, accompanied by music in the background. Website: www.carturesti.ro.

Close your eyes and you will see the City

Illustrations for "Închide ochii și vei vedea Orașul (which translates as "Close Your Eyes and You Will See The Town") by Iordan Chimet, ASCR Publishing House, 2014. "Surreality exists, only people call it reality. By vesting the most modest of realities with the prestige and the charm of fairy tales and poetry, Chimet invites (and compels) us to admit them as situated at an energetic and incantational level by no means inferior to the most delicate fantasies and the least bound reveries of Surrealism." (Nicolae Steinhardt).
