I’m Mariia Bykova, I specialise in illustration and Hand Lettering. Based in Frankfurt am Main.

For a decade (2004-2014) I was a professional photographer, working with galleries, museums and artists in Ukraine. I photographed exhibitions, paintings, sculptures and artists’ studios.

After this I realised that I was really interested in drawing. Since 2015 I dedicated more time to drawing and advancing my skills. I especially enjoy the challenge of drawing nature, food and buildings. My main areas  of interest are editorial illustration and advertising.

Besides drawing I really enjoy visiting museums, riding my bike, going to cinema and playing with my neighbour’s cats.
