Secret Sophia #[nn]

The cover of Secret Sophia sets a quietly intimate tone, rendered entirely in warm sanguine tones — a reclining woman, eyes closed and expression serene, her flowing hair and draped clothing sketched with tender, almost classical linework by Adriano De Vincentiis. Published by Editions Paquet in 2015, this album carries the sensibility of a fine-art study as much as a graphic narrative. It's a beautifully composed introduction to what promises to be an elegant and atmospheric work.
