Illustrations Bloom: Tania Yakunova’s Artistic Flourish

A Ukrainian artist paints homesickness and growth through lush, expressive figures and plant life in digital and graphite art.

Tania Yakunova's work is a vibrant tapestry of expressions entwined with nature. Her grainy textures and gestural lines bring to life figures that seem to breathe, whether bare feet stepping into dandelion fields or greenhouse figures bursting with flowers.


Yakunova, born in Kyiv and now based in London, uses bold shapes and vibrant colors to tell brand narratives and personal stories. Her compositions evoke a sense of homesickness through imagery deeply rooted in her Ukrainian heritage, which she left behind when she moved to the UK.


Her art extends beyond traditional media, incorporating hand-built ceramic sculpture and painting alongside digital and graphite illustrations. Each medium captures her distinct visual language, making it easier than ever for us to connect with these evocative pieces.


Keep an eye out for new print releases and upcoming projects on Instagram as Yakunova continues to explore the interplay between human emotion and botanical life in her art.
