Hafsa Idrees, 1992 | Finger painter
Hafsa Idrees is an Pakistani painter and writer born in Islamabad.
- "Art has always been close to my heart and even though I have not received a formal education in any particular genre, drawing/painting is an important part of my life. Since school, I have been experimenting with and enjoying different styles, media and techniques".
"I started with Arabic calligraphy at the age of 10 but I soon realized that I enjoyed painting and drawing too. My subjects then were things and people from my immediate surroundings but with time I started to explore different kinds of paints, pencils, materials and subjects".
A Love Letter from Balzac to Countess Ewelina Hańska
My beloved angel,
"I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them.
I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me. As for my heart, there you will always be - very much so. I have a delicious sense of you there.
But my God, what is to become of me, if you have deprived me of my reason?
This is a monomania which, this morning, terrifies me. I rise up every moment say to myself, ‘Come, I am going there!’ Then I sit down again, moved by the sense of my obligations.

Wisława Szymborska | Domande poste a me stessa / The questions you ask yourself
Qual è il contenuto del sorriso
e d’una stretta di mano?
Nel dare il benvenuto
non sei mai lontana
come a volte è lontano
l’uomo dall’uomo
quando dà un giudizio ostile
a prima vista?
Wisława Szymborska (1923-2012)
