Bibliomania
"Bibliomania is not a love of reading, nor is it romantic.
It is an obsessive attraction to the book as an object, and to knowledge as a form of escape."
— It is a state in which a book holds you more firmly than the ground beneath your feet.
It is a mechanism of survival.
No one has ever loved like this. Across thousands of years
Such love comes only rarely.
On such a day, spring blossoms on the earth,
and the earth adorns itself from the morning.
— Volodymyr Sosiura (Ukrainian poet — words on the body)
Technique
The letters are created from a strong material. The sand that I collected by the sea became the basis for them, like a strong foundation that holds the words.
Around the female figure, the background is laid out with copper sheets. Behind her, a graphic landscape unfolds in black lines, reminiscent of an engraving. The mountains combine the silhouettes of Montserrat and the Carpathians — two geographies, two roots. The line is strict, inspired by the works of Dürer, like history carved into time. The landscape extends beyond the oval frame, like a memory that cannot be contained within a single form.

How to Frame Your Artwork
Works on paper (drawings / prints on paper)
I ship works on paper unframed. Ready-made frames are easy to find (e.g., IKEA’s classic RIBBA). Most include a white mat (mount) that lets the artwork “breathe.”
- Choose white or black frames/mats to suit your space.
- Black mats usually need to be purchased separately.
- You can echo a color from the piece (e.g., a subtle green frame) or pick an ornate wooden frame for a more classic/gothic interior.
Canvas paintings
Canvases are usually displayed without an outer frame—the edges are painted as a continuation of the image for a clean, contemporary look.
If you prefer a frame, choose an open (floater) frame: it mounts from behind and leaves a slim gap around the canvas, adding visual “air” without covering the composition.
Art prints
Many of my prints are offered already framed and marked on the product page as “Framed Print.” In that case, no extra framing is needed.
I also offer unframed prints at a lower price—perfect if you want to choose your own frame. For unframed options, standard ready-made frames (like IKEA RIBBA) work well; canvas prints pair beautifully with floater frames. Please check each listing’s details for size and finish.
