Invientario

Illustrations for an online anthology of poetry from five continents.

For Invientario, an online anthology of poetry from five continents published by the José Max León Bilingual School, I illustrated scenes shaped by wind, landscape and movement. Hair, trees and clothing make the wind visible around the characters.

Oh wind Are you the one who hides his face? I can hear your voice amid the screeching cacophony of crickets That whistles a song at dusk Your breath is giving me a cold massage.

A woman and black cat in a red-flowered meadow below green mountains, with her hair and trees blowing in the wind

Monochrome study of a woman and black cat in a field of flowers, with trees bending in the wind

Pencil drawing of a long-haired cyclist carrying a black cat in a basket

A yellow-coated cyclist with a red scarf and black cat in a basket on a turquoise bicycle

The wind blows and whispers things on its journey shakes the snow from the buildings and falls like tulle on my head. El viento besa como un murmullo – Osiris Mosquea

A figure and black cat following a winding snowy path through trees toward a distant house

In the mountains, the winds run differently. They beat each other on the breasts like teenage breezes They don’t know what they want. Cochasqui – Xavier Oquendo Troncoso

Monochrome study of a black animal drifting through pale clouds under stars

A dark animal drifting through blue clouds above a flowered landscape under stars

A running figure in a red shirt holding the string of a yellow kite

Rivers without a bridge they go through startled the blue sands like cirrus clouds in a dull sky And your mountains, they all cry like a newly crowned miss ... The summer visitor submits a report – Sigurbjörg Þrastardóttir
