Laurindo Feliciano for The New Statesman

In this commission for The New Statesman book review, Laurindo illustrated a long literary essay revisiting D.H. Lawrence’s Why the Novel Matters and asking what the novel means now.

'Rather than a portrait, I wanted to translate Lawrence’s idea of “tremulations on the ether” into an image: a mind as a resonant field, where layers of thought overlap, vibrate, and reshape each other. A landscape becomes consciousness; echoes stack into forms; books disappear, return, and shift meaning with time—alive, unstable, endlessly re-read.'
Words by Geoff Dyer for The New Statesman

New Illustrator – Nastka Lisa

Nastka Lisova is an illustrator passionate about bringing small wonders and big feelings to the page. Working in watercolor and digital mixed-media, she creates illustrations that celebrate childhood, memory and emotional storytelling inspired by everyday life.

From an early age, Nastka was inspired by the world around her – she loved drawing what she saw: people, animals, flowers and trees. She grew up in a small Ukrainian village and spent much of her time outdoors, walking through fields and along the edge of the forest. She also loved reading and illustrating the stories she read, as books felt like portals to other places and lives she had never seen. Today, Nastka enjoys creating magical, heartfelt illustrations that inspire freedom of expression and a love for life, while gently reminding us how beautiful the world around us can be.
