This style is wildly popular right now, and for good reason—it feels like people are completely obsessed with it. Tania Yakunova masterfully blends unique textures, gradients, bold shapes, and subtle details. Every piece features an effortless, flawless color palette.
Her textures are so rich that they almost feel handcrafted by a fine artist, making it hard to believe they were created digitally in Illustrator or Photoshop. Above all, her work evokes genuine emotion—and at the end of the day, that’s what great art is all about.
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.
Liza Sanchez

So let’s dive in!
