My Projects
«Sleeping Beauty»
The comic is based on Charles Perrault’s fairy tale «Sleeping Beauty,» which tells the story of a princess cursed by an evil fairy to eternal sleep after touching the tip of a spindle. However, the spell is broken by a kiss from the prince who rescues her.My goal was to convey the fairytale atmosphere of the classic story, focusing on the color scheme of the illustrated project.«Sleeping Beauty»
The main challenges were:⟡ to tell this story within a very condensed four-page spread format ⟡ creating a unique and suitable composition to establish the correct atmosphere and chronology
«Fauna of the Golden Ring»
A series of 12 postcard illustrations dedicated to the animal symbols of the cities in Russia’s Golden Ring.My main goal was to depict the city symbols alongside other key regional elements, such as local cuisine, crafts, or beliefs. A key architectural landmark in the city became a required element in each illustration.</b
⟡ The main challenge in this work for me was selecting the appropriate compositional and visual solutions, alongside conducting global research into the history of the cities of the Golden Ring of Russia to convey their unique character as fully as possible.
GES-2 House of Culture
GES-2 is one of Moscow’s most renowned art spaces. However, until recently, it operated as a full-fledged power plant. This long-form reading explores the trend of industrial zones transforming into cultural hubs, using the history of GES-2's formation as a case study.
My main goal in this project was to illustrate the monumentality and the enormous evolution of the creative, altruistic idea behind this cultural space.
