KATYA SCHUKINA. ART DIRECTOR / ARTIST / ILLUSTRATOR
OVER 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING ACROSS ILLUSTRATION, ART DIRECTION AND BRAND DESIGN, WITH A FOCUS ON COMMISSIONED ILLUSTRATION, ORIGINAL ARTWORK, TEXTILE PRINT DESIGN AND SELECTED BRANDING PROJECTS.
MY PRACTICE CENTERS ON ILLUSTRATION AND ORIGINAL ARTWORK, WITH A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN PROJECTS WHERE ART BECOMES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PRODUCT OR ENVIRONMENT.
Fashion, textiles and interiors are recurring areas of my commercial practice. I have created original illustrations and artworks for silk scarves, swimwear, fashion collections, wallpapers and interior applications, developing each work in response to its particular format, material and context. Alongside commissioned work, I maintain an independent painting practice.
I have worked independently and in collaboration with design studios, agencies, and international premium and luxury brands across fashion, hospitality and real estate. My work spans commissioned illustration, art direction and selected branding projects, from individual commissions to long-term creative collaborations.
