Vika
Lubavina

I was born in Voronezh. Has lived in the Pskov region, St. Petersburg and the Far East. Graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University and the British Higher School of Design. I work as a graphic designer and illustrator.

I speak Russian, French, English
and untranslatable wordplay.

I've been drawing since childhood, but I picked up brushes as an adult - before that, I created with words, stylus and pencil.

Since 2020, I have been studying at Timofey Smirnov's workshop.

The basis of the paintings are unfictional stories, moments of my life and not my own. The paintings for me are a reflection of valuable and dear to my heart observations in an age of soulless and mass photography.

The main thing for me in painting, work and life is an opportunity to make our world aesthetically pleasing, to slow down the frantic pace of time and to ground myself.

In addition to paintings I draw comics, stickerpacks and make illustrations for books. I run a telegram channel (not anonymous).
