About me

Hello, my name is Ilona and I'm a lead 2D artist!

Creativity is a big part of my life. Visualization of imaginary concepts helps me to reveal myself as a person, and find my place in this world, bringing to it something new and unique.

I like science fiction, fantasy and games, thats why I really enjoy creating my original worlds and characters.

I am versatile and motivated concept artist with more than 8 years experience in traditional and digital painting. Equipped with an excellent work ethic and capacity to effectively manage creative projects.
