any criticism of art
Again. I do not collect them. All is in Estonian language (or Russian).
There is not much art criticism written in Estonia, and even less is
written specifically (and long) about the artists (usually just about
classics OR such kind of art which is presented at the Biennale in
Venice). I’m not classic and I do not take part in biennial in Venice -)
It seems that Estonia is a bit different country in this meaning. I
think they have written about me more in Russia than in Estonia -)
In Estonia there are only sections of long articles written about exhibitions and they write about exhibitions VERY rare too.
And as I told, I do not collect them. To read – it’s interesting. But to keep – no need.
I can send you just one article which I have (I kept it because it’s
really written very well, the art critic really understood me, what
happens very rarely...), it’s about my personal exhibition in Russia in
2016 (Russians like to write art critic)

I do not have my home page, again – no time for it!
But I have a page on Fb, made by an Iranian art critic. There are my children’s book illustrations and graphic art – both.

And about my children’s books are on the home page of Estonian Children’s Literature Centre
