Hey there! My name is Olia Shovkova and I’m a Ukrainian illustrator and painter based in Prague, Czech Republic.
I illustrate, design, print, and sell a wide selection of art products in my shop artshovk.com. I work with different kind of materials including gouache, acryla gouache, watercolors, acrylics, colored pencils, ink, and I also work digitally.
My artworks are inspired by the things I see and places I discover. When I’m not making art, I enjoy being out in nature and going on adventures. I love visiting galleries, botanical gardens, zoo and I always have my sketchbook with me.
Here are more things about me:
- I love creating cute paintings and patterns, usually with animals, flowers and plants involved.
- I also enjoy painting portraits, especially with acrylics on canvas.
- I love good books, coffee and lightning candles at night.
- I’ve spent some time living and studying art at the University of Art in Bandung, Indonesia. Moving to Indonesia has changed my life in so many ways!
- In Indonesia I tried sculpting, making ceramics and batik for the first time in my life.
