I’m Anya, an illustrator specializing in folk motifs and naive art. I create expressive visual narratives, reinterpreting traditional cultural codes through bold graphics, contrasting colors, and humor.

My work spans character design, editorial illustration, packaging, and merchandise (particularly merchandise). I am seeking collaborations with design studios, publishers, and creative teams on projects where illustration is central.

Problem Develop a series of illustrated postcards for a travel agency specializing in regional tourism. The postcards needed to promote the town of Kargopol by showcasing its famous traditional clay toys, making these historical folk artifacts appealing and memorable to modern tourists and travelers. They will be sold at the local hotel.Idea Reinterpret the traditional Kargopol clay toys through a modern, playful, and bold lens. Instead of realistic rendering, use flat shapes, thick black outlines, and vibrant contrasting backgrounds. A unifying decorative frame featuring cross-stitch motifs ties the series together, making them look like a cohesive collectible set.

Idea Depict stray dogs not as pitiful victims, but as vibrant, energetic characters with distinct personalities and chaotic lives. Use highly saturated, non-realistic colors—acid pink, vivid yellow, deep purple—and dynamic, comic-book-style brushstrokes. Incorporate urban elements—trash cans, scattered bones, and walls plastered with «MISSING» posters—to build a rich, humorous narrative within each frame.
