Mariia Bykova, illustrator and hand lettering artist, based in Frankfurt am Main.

Mariia was always attracted to visual arts and fascinated by the process of capturing images. For a decade (2004-2014) she was a professional photographer, working with galleries, museums and artists. Being in this environment naturally led to her involvement in several collaborative projects with painters.

Since 2015 Mariia dedicated more time to drawing and advancing her skills. She especially enjoys the challenge of drawing nature, food, buildings and letters. Main areas of interest are editorial illustration and advertising.
