I am a London based illustrator and printmaker from Ukraine. I love risography, collage, printmaking (aquatint, etchings and lino) and reportage drawing in traditional media.
My work lies between sketching and drawing from life and experimental abstract collages(both in digital and traditional media). Usually I am fond of capturing the character and atmosphere in a caricatural way.
Feel free to contact me either to create something together or just to say hi :)

Projects
- Buildings, where murders have taken placeA series of four aquatints of London buildings, where famous people were killed.

Was investigating the way buildings look now, focusing on small enigmatic details that would remind of its past. 1. Jill Wendy Dando 2. Joe Orton 3. Magdala Tavern 4.
