An Illustrated Diary
Une Tina d’Or is a collection of Doruntina’s hand-painted illustrations in which she captures experiences both of her own and those she is inspired by, and creates a fantastical, intricate universe for them.
Throughout her childhood, Doruntina’s inner world would express itself through sketches. Almost without thought she would find herself illustrating the moments and thoughts of her everyday experience. Through her deep curiosity for the people and places around her came a unique voice, one that we can recognise ourselves in.
Some of her most personal work is included in this collection; for Doruntina, to illustrate a person is the highest accolade she can offer. You will find hidden confessions of love, admiration, inspiration and gratitude in every piece.
The Artist's Process
Each illustration is drawn on paper using a variety of tools; pencil, fine liner, coloured pencils - and highlighted in fine silver and gold embellishment. Each is a treasure trove of symbolism and clues; you can spend hours traversing the artistic landscape Doruntina creates.
We encourage you to explore the illustrations alongside your sartorial purchases; each character is clothed in pieces from the collections, meaning you can decorate yourself and your home in the luxurious and unique pieces that make up DA.
Doruntina invites you to embrace your inner child through her characters. Filled with youthful imaginings, the energy and newness of childhood imbues each character as she honours this crucial time in our lives with affection and understanding.
Illustrated Offerings
The illustrations are a unique offering from the studio of Doruntina. Both deeply personal and empathetic, they are superbly suited for gift-giving to either someone precious in your life, or even better- a gift to pay tribute to yourself.
