An almost unusual trendy style for Ukraine. It seems like some people are just obsessed with it.
Tania Yakunova uses a lot of different textures, gradients, hints, regular shapes, etc.
A perfect combination of colours is present in all her works, certainly.
Sometimes it seems like a painter draws these wonderful textures.
So it’s hard to believe that it was created in Illustrator or Photoshop.
Her illustrations evoke emotions, and this is the point.
Dilk & Feros

Amazing representatives of modern street art. These guys are passionate about everything they are engaged in and are constantly experimenting with various styles. Their murals aren’t just scribbling on the walls but true pieces of art.
Thus showing us that the things that surround us – form us. Each work symbolizes something and, consequently, has a deep meaning. It covers different philosophic and psychological concepts such as shaping individuality by an environment,
the importance of knowing your inner self, the fragility of our planet, understanding that one change affects another one
and our whole existence depends on it, finding compromises, coexistence, and many other vital things.
So better check Dilk & Feros work yourself as they speak louder than words.

It’s super great when you are both an experienced illustrator and a 2d motion artist.
So the knowledge from each sphere helps and completes one another while creating any art project.
The ponderous characters’ figures in illustrations could be seen at once but well-chosen pastel colours and textures make everything look extremely harmonious. Subtle colours while a catchy performance manner.
This is truly inspiring, for sure.

Alena Tkach is a children’s book illustrator and 2D artist.
Her illustrations make you smile all the time as they are so cute, winsome, and just adorable.

Alena’s illustrations remind us about the best time we had – our childhood when we were full of life, happiness, joy, and heart’s ease.
