Mila Furstova creates magical, dreamlike works mostly through the medium of etching. Now UK-based, she talks about her childhood in the Czech Republic and how she spent two years working with Coldplay on the artwork for their Ghost Stories album and four subsequent singles. She explains the influence of motherhood on her work, her use of symbols and metaphor, how she has visually interpreted a famous Czech poem and about some of the celebrities who have collected her art.
