\"Tania<\/p>\n

Grainy textures and gestural lines characterize the lush compositions<\/a> of Tania Yakunova<\/a>. Collaborating with a range of commercial and editorial clients, the Kyiv-born illustrator harnesses the visual impact of bold shapes and vibrant color palettes to convey brand narratives and inexpressible feelings. Bare feet planted in dandelion-strewn grass and a greenhouse-style figure housing flowers attempting to burst from the glass cages, for example, conjure Yakunova\u2019s homesickness, since she left her native Ukraine for London in 2023.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s distinct expressions translate across mediums, whether working in hand-built ceramic sculpture, painting, or digital and graphite illustration. Keep an eye out for new print releases and her latest projects on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
