About me
I am a Russian illustrator, currently based in Barcelona. I work with various materials and love experimenting with different techniques. I often mix analogue technics with digital tools in my illustrations. I am particularly interested in narrative illustration and printmaking.
Projects
  • Imaginary Landscapes
    Imaginary LandscapesA series of drawings I made when we were only allowed to wander around and explore imaginary landscapes.
  • Sleepy Giant
    Sleepy GiantHaving a good rest can be a challenge. Especially if you are shy about it and especially if you don't want to be seen sleeping. And especially especially if you are... a giant! This giant (who barely fits on this print) lives in the woods and suffers from lack of sleep caused by his own shyness. Instead of going to a cosy bed each night he goes deep into the woods and pretends to be a tree in the hope that nobody will see him.
  • Monografías
    Monografías 'Monographias' is a series of prints made using the trace monotype technique. Each print is a personal visual study of a life event or strong emotional experience observed and documented during this year. This project is a collection of personal commentaries. It’s my way of observing, understanding and reflecting on the happenings of life. These prints are my reflections on the concepts of Equilibrium, Togetherness, Despair, Mistrust and Parting.
