There is sanctity to be found in solitude, and Mexico City–based illustrator Idalia Candelas captures that perfectly.
寂寞独处必有其神圣之处，墨西哥插画家艾达利亚·坎德拉斯就完美的捕捉到了其中之精髓。
The 40-year-old is a graphic designer by trade and just got into illustrating two years ago.
这位40岁的平面设计师于两年前才开始作画。
In an illustration project called “Postmodern Loneliness,” Candelas captures the beauty of living alone.
在一项名为“后现代孤独”的插画工程中，坎德拉斯为我们展示了独处的魅力。
“This project is me trying to communicate my idea of loneliness. It was derived from the time I lived alone. The thing I want to convey is the fact that living alone is not bad; it can be enjoyable.”
“这幅作品是我尝试和孤独感交流的结晶，灵感源于我独处的那段时间。我想向人们传达：独处并不糟糕，独处也可以很快乐。”
The drawings are slated to be published in a book titled Solo, which shows women living everyday moments and enjoying their own company.
下面这些图是即将出售的书籍《独奏》的插画，展示了女性独自生活的日常，表现出她们享受独处的快乐。
Candelas described the process to BuzzFeed. “First, I make a small script of the whole concept [and] after that work up the sketches. My technique is pencil, ink, and watercolor. I also do them in black and white to bring a little melancholy.”
Candelas向BuzzFeed描述了作画的整个过程。“首先，我将整个概念做成手稿，然后将他们做成草图。我的秘诀是铅笔、墨水和水彩颜料。我也会将整幅图画成黑白色的，赋予整个作品忧伤的基调。”
After the project was featured by prominent Mexican media outlets, Candelas said she received positive responses from all over the world. “I am excited but very grateful. Now I feel the responsibility to strive more in my work.”
坎德拉斯说，这幅作品被墨西哥著名媒体大肆宣传之后，她就收到了来自世界各地的积极回应。“我很开心也很感激，现在我觉得我应当投入更多地精力到我的工作中。”
She also said many people have told her that they identify with the subjects in the drawings.
她说：很多人告诉她，他们在揣摩画中的主题。
“The intention of Solo is for people to see women living everyday moments where they are alone and enjoy it, showing that they do not suffer or cry. The best way to understand it is loving oneself, and learning to enjoy your own company.”
“《独奏》旨在告诉人们单身女性的日常以及独处的乐趣，让人们明白，单身女性并不会为单身状态哭泣或痛苦。理解这些画的最好方法便是爱自己和学会享受孤独。”
