In the new collection of short stories and novels "Armastan" all texts are in one way or another connected with the visual - we are talking about paintings, photographs, posters, drawings, in general, about everything that Gertrude Stein called "images on a flat surface". Artists, museums, creative suffering, and also, agonizing house-hunting, love delirium, and nostalgia. All the things we love. That's what "ármastan" means in Estonian - "I love". "Armastan" Anna Matveeva's "Armastan" is like a sketchbook of an artist-traveler. In the skillful sketches of other people's lives there is a place for disheveled sparrows, drawn with fragile sanguine, and Moscow high-rise buildings, drawn with felt-tip pens, and tender elusive dates among the paintings, conveyed with watercolor". Elena Sharova, Museum of Russian Impressionism
