Through soft colors, heartwarming compositions, and expressive animal characters, the Lithuanian artist explores themes like loneliness, affection, emotional distance, comfort, anxiety, and connection in a way that feels deeply personal and emotionally honest. Her illustrations often capture the kind of feelings people carry privately but instantly recognize when they see them reflected in art.
That emotional storytelling recently expanded into Herta’s new book, "Soulmates: Drawn Stories About Us," released under the HertaTales name. According to the artist, the book is the first part of a larger upcoming series and is currently available digitally on Amazon Kindle, with a paperback edition also on the way. Much like her illustrations online, the book explores emotional connection, inner worlds, relationships, and the tenderness hidden inside ordinary life.
