Translation for the visual arts: catalogues, exhibition materials, critical essays

 

Any text that accompanies art faces a specific and engrossing challenge: how to capture in words what an artist has portrayed in a medium beyond words?

 

This sort of translation requires limitless passion for the subject matter as well as unstinting precision in conveying the content of the text. The relationship between the two can never be underestimated.

 

In these translations, my love of both art and language allows me to deliver texts that are not only accurate, but also pitch-perfect in style and register.

 

No less exacting is the amount of research required to deliver a translation that’s factually accurate, without losing the spirit and flair of the original text.

 

My translations leave my clients 100% satisfied and sure to come back for more.

 

 

Adriana is a superb translator. She not only translates texts with meticulous care, but also shows great sensitivity to the varied connotations of words and sentences. She is also delightful to work with, and highly professional.  Alison Bracker, Art curator
