Mariia Emelianenkova

I was born in 1985 in Smolensk, small ancient city in the central European part of Russia.
When my parents saw my addiction to drawing ( I think I was 10-11 years old then), they sent me to study at an art school. I am very grateful to them, because they helped me choose the most wonderful way of realization.
In the 10th grade of secondary school, the desire to study art led me to transfer from school to a gymnasium of an esthetic profile, studying in which I could simultaneously attend the College of Arts.
Two years later I move to St. Petersburg and begin to prepare for admission to the St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry named after I. AL Stieglitz, where I entered the Faculty of Monumental Art in 2003. It was released in 2009.
Further - work as a freelancer. I have participated in the implementation of many interesting projects as a designer of small architectural forms, a designer (branding, identity, printing products, visual organization of events, etc.), a book illustrator
To this day, I am implementing interesting projects, now I am more inclined towards creating author's graphic works, book illustrations, creating stage decorations.
I travel a lot and am interested in different cultures.
I like being...
