Hi, I'm Adelya.

I am an artist, musician, storyteller and lifelong collector of beautiful moments. 

My journey has taken me from studying opera in Paris to studying literature, art and media in Konstanz, Germany. Along the way, I have worked as a singer, teacher, theatre director, cultural content creator and visual artist. Yet one question has stayed with me throughout all these years:

How do we learn to truly see?

Lines & Legends began as a way of preserving places that touched me. A doorway in Strasbourg, a forgotten corner of Paris, the atmosphere of a small café, or a beautiful building discovered during a walk.I started sketching these moments and turning them into postcards, not as souvenirs, but as invitations to look more closely.  

Today, Lines & Legends is more than a collection of postcards. It is an invitation to slow down, notice beauty and create your own visual diary of life.

Through postcards, creative prompts, stories and the Sketch & See Club, I encourage others to become collectors of moments and to rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary. 

When I am not drawing, you can usually find me singing, studying art history, wandering through cities and countries, or working on my books.

I believe that a meaningful life is built from small moments of beauty, curiosity and wonder.

If you'd like to join me on this journey of observation and creativity, I'd love to welcome you to the Sketch & See Club.
