My name is Anna Lukyanova (b 1982) and I live and work in Moscow, Russia.

Мy Artist statement:

My practice reveals the truth of life with humour, cynicism and a bit of love. My works provoke people to think less serious about themselves.

My background:

I have master’s degree in political science and excessive working experience in copywriting and scriptwriting. However, my passion for drawing is more powerful than anything else, so back in 2013 I decided to turn my career perspectives.

My background:

I have master’s degree in political science and excessive working experience in copywriting and scriptwriting. However, my passion for drawing is more powerful than anything else, so back in 2013 I decided to turn my career perspectives. I finished the illustration course at the Institute of Design in Barcelona and graduated from the British Art School in Moscow with practice-based illustration programme in 2014. Since then I work as an artist and freelance illustrator. I work with various technics and enjoy experimenting.

With my art, I just want to say that...

….nothing is more serious than you think about it. I love and accept life as it is - unfair, absurd, non-predictable and paradoxical. Do not be optimist, do not be pessimist, just live as it is. That's what I want to state with every piece of my work."

Among my clients are famous Russian editing house of children books "Samokat", Raiffeisenbank, “Expert” editing house, well-known fashion&beauty portal Buro 24/7, Sport Company of bicycle uniform and accessories “Specialized Russia”, recording company FELEE Records and many others. My works and books are held in a number of private collections around the world.

I also collaborate on different projects with the oldest animation studio in Russia SOUZMULTFILM.
