Product Information

Those sketches turned into a book because I wanted to invite more people into the Faultlines, a world I’ve always known but wasn’t quite ready for until that moment, that day when I just made peace with myself and let it flow.

Journey into FAERIES OF THE FAULTLINES with Iris Compiet

Gebunden. Condition: New. Über den AutorrnrnIris Compiet is your guide to the Faultlines, a world filled with faeries and creatures from beyond the veil. A traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, Iris has always known exactly wha. Potentially the best book of faerie artwork I've seen. The text, a journal of Iris' journeys through the Faultlines, is intricately woven between gorgeous images sketched and painted by the author herself. Belíssimas gravuras e desenhos. Fabulosas descrições e pequenas histórias sobre os habitantes desse mundo que nos é apresentado. Davvero imperdibile per gli appassionati di magia, del piccolo popolo e delle creature fantastiche in generale.

Iris Compiet is the rarest of artist: That who invokes a complete and cohesive reality with every image she creates. Beautiful, powerful and contemplative all at once. -- Guillermo Del Toro Let me tell you about Faeries, let me take you away on a journey, an adventure. Two staple books of most 70s 'right on' households were Rien Poortvliet's Leven en Werken van de Kabouter, known as Gnomes in English, and Brian Froud and Alan Lee's Faeries. Like creatures in our world, the faeries lives in different habitats. What were some of your favorite types of environments to explore? Iris Compiet’s work is an astonishing and masterful revelation of the Faery Realms. She is an artist who, with stunning alacrity, reveals the fleeting personalities of the normally unseen.”—Brian Froud Iris Compiet: From a very early age I was intrigued by the world of faery. I was always reading stories and listening to fairy tales. When I stumbled upon the book Faeries by Brian Froud and Alan Lee, I figured that could be my job when I grew older: paint faeries, be an artist. At first, things didn’t really work out because I lost touch with fantasy and the faery world as I grew older and went to art school. Fantasy was frowned upon in art school so I had to put it aside for a bit.
