British Library: Interview with the Artist

The British Library published an in-depth interview with Sveta Dorosheva about the process behind creating the key artwork for the Fantasy: Realms of Imagination exhibition.

When the British Library hosted its Fantasy: Realms of Imagination exhibition, they commissioned Sveta Dorosheva to create the key artwork — a single hand-drawn illustration containing 65 references to fantasy literature, from Tolkien to Gaiman, from Queen Mab to Baba Yaga.

The artwork was used as a poster, book cover, billboard, wall art inside the British Library, merchandise, and an all-night projection in the atrium during the opening night. The original has been acquired by the British Library's permanent collection.
