I am Kseniia Kudriavtseva, and my artistic journey, which began in 2016, has been a voyage of discovery and expression. Starting with a foundation in graphic design at the St. Petersburg School of Television, I quickly realized that my true passion lay in illustration—a field where I could fully embrace and cultivate my love for drawing.
My professional path has been enriched by collaborations with respected clients such as Noble Road Publishing, Greenleaf Book Group Press, Waldorf Publishing, Land of Tales, Reading Potato, Pascal Books, Cove Publishing, Indie Earth Publishing, Preemie Book, The Dreamwork Collective, and Stateroom Statements. My artwork has been embraced globally, with features in the United States, United Kingdom, and China.
Illustration, for me, is far more than just a career; it is a powerful tool for expressing my deepest creativity and insights. Drawing from personal challenges and a journey toward overcoming anxiety, I've cultivated a profound appreciation for the power of inclusivity and the importance of addressing social themes such as body positivity, empathy, multiculturalism, self-acceptance, emotional awareness, environmental stewardship, and self-care in my work. These principles not only resonate deeply with me but also serve as the foundation for art that inspires and uplifts me.
My life in Thailand shared with my husband Alex, our son Oliver, and our beloved dog Spitz, Pixel, who has alopecia X, is a continuous source of joy and inspiration. My diverse hobbies, which include enjoying stand-up comedy, immersing myself in the timeless tunes of the Beatles, skiing, participating in film therapy groups, indulging in Latin dance, practicing yoga, and the simple pleasure of making pancakes, enrich my life and infuse my art with warmth, humor, and a sense of coziness.
Characterized by a blend of kindness, humor, cozy comfort, and a touch of magical enchantment, my artistic style is uniquely mine. I take pride in working collaboratively with authors, dedicating myself to bringing their stories to life with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to enhancing the narrative's impact.
If you find a connection with my artistic vision, I would be thrilled to explore potential collaborations or project inquiries. Please don't hesitate to reach out at KUDRIAVTSEVA.KSENIIA@GMAIL.COM.
