Questions & Illustrations
with Maria Dek
In our “Question & Illustration” newsletter inspired by the Proust Questionnaire, each month we ask one of our artists to answer three questions about their personality using only illustrations. If you are interested in receiving our Q&I newsletter you click here.
Playful, wild, surreal, spontaneous, poetic: these are a few of the characteristics that make up Maria Dek's unmistakable world. Filled with curious animals, adventurous children, and unexpected discoveries, her stories play with imagination and capture the many different aspects of childhood through an original and striking style. "Dek’s watercolor illustrations evoke folk-art charm with their straightforward brush strokes, chunky caricatures, absence of perspective, and inherent warmth expressed through lovely details." – Kirkus Starred Review
Maria's free spirit is on full display in her illustrated answers to our mini-Proust questionnaire, as is her love for and connection to nature.
