Illustrations for UNICEF Magazine

Together with the Common Thread 

I was invited to create the cover and illustrations for UNICEF magazine, collaborating with the talented art directors Katrina Varlam and Jim O'Neill. They provided the concepts for the illustrations, which I translated into visual form using my own graphic language, bringing their ideas to life in a dynamic and meaningful way.

Pravila Zhizni Magazine
cover illustration and animation

Art Director: Nika Dobina 

I had the exciting opportunity to illustrate and animate the cover for the first issue of Pravila Zhizni magazine, formerly Esquire Russia. The cover is done in a Wimmelbuch style, packed with different scenes of everyday city life, full of little stories and characters waiting to be discovered.

Inside the issue, there's also an interview with me where I talk about my creative process and what inspires me. Alongside the interview, you’ll find some of my artwork from the "Arrival" series, giving readers a closer look at my recent projects. 

33 Words About Design

with the Bang!Bang! agency

In collaboration with the Bang!Bang! agency, I created this Monkey illustration for the film "33 Words About Design," which explores the history of design in Russia. The character embodies a playful yet thoughtful representation, aligning with the film’s narrative of creativity and evolution within Russian design.

Start Hub map

I created this illustration for Start Hub creative spaces in a Wimmelbuch style, showcasing various imaginative and playful ways to utilize the space. The artwork features a rich tapestry of fantasy scenarios, each one highlighting the endless possibilities for creativity and innovation within the hub.

Adobe Photoshop
Creativity for All

with the Cosmopola agency

In collaboration with the Cosmopola agency and two talented artists, Viktor Miller-Gausa and Alena Lavdovskaya, I participated in the Creativity for All campaign. For this project, I created two winter illustrations that capture the essence of Russian culture and atmosphere.

The goal was to convey the Russian spirit while moving away from the typical, often cliché images associated with Russia. Instead of the usual symbols, I focused on more intimate and nostalgic elements: the tight braids mothers weave in childhood, the black roosters that roam village houses, and the colorful birds peeking through frosty windows in winter.

Together with the gifted video artist Kira Shelehov, we produced three videos documenting the process behind creating these illustrations. The artwork, created in Adobe Photoshop, was featured on Adobe's official website and other media platforms, highlighting the blending of traditional Russian themes with modern digital techniques.
