Jure Engelsberger and his exhibition of illustrations from 'Origins – A Poem About Love' at the W3 gallery in November 2019.

The novel deals with universal questions about love, corporeality and humans’ role in this world. The acclaimed writer, poet, playwright and screenwriter Feri Lainšček’s body of literary work described it as “the book of his life”.

The story is enriched by sensuous illustrations by highly acclaimed Slovenian artist Jure Engelsberger, who received one of the most prestigious awards for illustration in Slovenia, the Hinko Smrekar Award. The jury wrote: “The accents of the figures and other motifs in Engelsberger’s illustrations are highly artistic and powerfully felt. The images are softly outlined, even gentle, in a rather minimalistic style, since less essentially means more.”
