the ballerina alphabet

      As promised, here is my outcome:
       
The Ballerina Alphabet
Selection of graphite drawings on paper
December 2012
      Each letter is a delicate A5 drawing on paper, depicting ballet movements combined with stage set and atmospheric elements. The alphabet is inspired and drawn from the beauty of ballet, various from classics such as Swan Lake, La Bayadere, The Nutcraker, Sleeping beauty,etc, to modern compositions, Afternoon of the Faun and Alice in Wonderland for instance. This alphabet was continuously drawn in 2 and a half weeks, much to my efforts, I am glad I have finally expressed my affection towards this tremendous physical art. 

       Be welcome to have a closer look at each letter as their individual:


b for Balcony,
the classic scene in Romeo and Juliet



F for Flame,
the passion for dance









O for Odette, my favourite drawing :)

    Great work, my favs are K ( the emotion on the dancers faces), H (clothes and hair), O ( beautiful portait, I like how you use the swan as a frame) and X, I love how you did the swans putting the necks close to create the letter :)
    Happy holidays!!

      Hi Karin, Thank you for your interest. Could I ask which size it is that you're looking for? I have the PDF versions available for A2 or A1 size, which are £20 and £26 respectively. Alternatively, I could send you the printed version of A2 size for £49 if you're interested.

      Please let me know your email address so I could forward the information.

      Thanks Karin and I think this will be a lovely gift for your daughter!
