As well as being my sister, mother and best friend, Irina&Silviu are very talented traditional collage artists and photographers. 

Below is an excerpt from their about section, as I think their own words describe them best:

‘In the beginning there were Cortázar and jazz, Heidegger and fried eggs, endless ramblings and Thomas, the German Shepherd. Then it all turned irreversibly poetic, our cooking improved, books multiplied and so have we, together with our experiences of each other and the memories we collect every day. Our story is a writers' Café hidden in the middle of a pine forest with dim light and Miles Davis playing in the background.

We are Irina & Silviu and we do everything together. We met at University in Transylvania while studying Philosophy and we have been inseparable ever since, from translating philosophy books to changing diapers, making collages and poetically documenting our life through photography.

Our collages are recipes for alternative worlds, while our photography poetically depicts what we believe to be the best of all possible ones: that of hic et nunc, a narrative whispered through scenes that write themselves in shadows, textures, glances and reflections, chapters from rooms of laughter and future ventures.

World of Other is our way of connecting with fellow artists, makers and entrepreneurs and collecting glimpses of their existence, while Poetics of Other stems from our love for black and white imagery and quietly depicts these encounters.

For the past 8 years we have called Wales home, the land of hiraeth and rugged coastlines, currently living in Monmouthshire.
