About The Series
This series contains 1001 art which Eilya illustrated.
“Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Freud insisted that Man has to embrace danger, be tolerant to pain and not take action solely to attain future pleasures and joys. Eilya’s illustrations are the very pain, an unborn pain which you feel it before it shows up, a pain which seems destined to come. I stand before Eilya’s pictures and comfort myself by seeing how lucky I am not to be experiencing that agonizing moment, and this is mere tragedy. A tragedy that you should not necessarily live, but experience by taking a nib at in order to define that humanistic savagery; the self-generating crime … Seeing Eilya Tahamtani’s illustrations is a pleasant pain for me, it is like tonguing the empty space of a pulled tooth, and the taste of blood… They must be seen… to shake off this never-ending headache.”
