A Journey Between Two Shores of Art! "Whispers of the Heart"

Works that intertwine different artistic disciplines offer a truly unique experience to both readers and viewers alike. Poems & Paintings is precisely such a creation—an evocative journey where the power of imagery and the depth of words converge, stirring both emotion and thought in harmonious unison.

 

Victoria Isinman masterfully weaves poetry and painting into a seamless narrative. Each page unfolds as a realm of emotional and aesthetic exploration. Her poetry oscillates between melancholy and hope, encapsulating profound sentiments, while her paintings translate these emotions into a tangible reality through the language of color and form. Words and visuals complement one another, engaging not only the intellect but also the soul.

 

This book is not merely a work of literature or art; it is a diary of the soul, an introspective voyage. It stands as an inspiring creation for both lovers of poetry and admirers of fine art. For those who embrace art that defies boundaries and seek innovative modes of expression, Poems & Paintings is a discovery not to be missed.

Best read!

Alright, folks—if you’re looking for a book that just sits on your shelf collecting dust, this ain’t it. "Whispers of the Heart"is one of those rare finds that pulls you in, shakes you up, and makes you feel things. Victoria Isikman blends poetry and stunning visual art so seamlessly that you might start questioning whether your own emotions are this deep (spoiler: they are, you just needed this book to remind you). With influences from Istanbul, France, Europe, and Brazil, this collection takes you on an artistic world tour—minus the jet lag. Isikman’s poetry doesn’t just rhyme pretty words together; it feels like a conversation with your soul. And the artwork? Let’s just say it makes your Pinterest inspo board look like a child’s fridge doodle. What’s really impressive is how this book sneaks up on you. You think you’re just flipping through pages, but suddenly you’re hit with an existential crisis about love, life, and the meaning of color (yes, color). It’s one of those books that lingers in your mind long after you’ve put it down—like an emotional hangover, but the good kind. If you love poetry, art, or just anything that makes your heart do a little oomph, this book is for you. And if you don’t? Well, maybe it’s time you whisper to your own heart and reconsider.
