Annick Tonti (1951–2023), known by her alias moholinushk, produced an incredibly refined and singular body of work in her eight years as a practicing artist. Her drawings, in combinations of colored pencil, chalk pastel, ink, and watercolor, reveal keen observation of the world, expressed through circles and in balanced geometric compositions. Later collections saw her language expand to include looser, more organic forms, underpinned by a meticulous choice of materials. With a foreword by Annick Tonti’s husband, Matti Weinberg, a biography by Bettina Diem, an essay by Rebecca Alcaraz, and studio photography by Zoe Tempest, the publication features 163 drawings made during the last eight years of her life (2015–2023), following retirement from her international diplomatic career and teaching commitments in the field of intercultural communication. Alongside past interviews with the artist, the publication includes letters and notes written by Annick Tonti that reflect on connections to Islamic geometry, Japanese graphic art, and the Bauhaus.
