My name is Daria Filippova.
I'm Ukrainian illustrator based in Odesa.
I was born in Odessa in 1996 and, despite the war, continue to live here in this city by the sea.
I have over eight years of experience in illustration. I graduated from the Odesa Academy of Architecture and hold a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Arts. I spent many years working at the Odesa National Fine Arts Museum, which contributed to its development and recognition, particularly thanks to the creation of the museum's first line of merch. Before the war, I worked for several years at the Green Theater in Odessa—an open-air amphitheater that hosts fairs, concerts, lectures, and exhibitions. Since the full-scale war in Ukraine, I have become a fully independent illustrator. I strive to learn new things, often experiment with styles (which is evident in my work), and often use different visual techniques for different tasks. Therefore, I don't limit myself to any one strict style; I am constantly searching for new visual languages. I primarily focus on symbolism, allegory, personal feelings, and reflections in creating illustrations. That's why complex and sensual themes are my favorite subjects to work on.
