Hi, friends! My name is Lena Novikava, I`m Belarus-based self-taught children`s illustrator. I love creating playful and vibrant pictures for kids books, magazines, maps, posters, cards, coloring pages, packaging, etc.
In my illustrations I`m intending to capture the joy of childhood, the beauty of nature, the magic of everyday life adventures.
My art style is perfect for children`s projects which need to add bright colorful and captivating visual touch.
With years of professional experience managing of social projects, I have succesfully worked as freelance illustrator for 3 years and applied that background in my illustrations. So my favorite topics to illustrate are diversity and inclusion, ecology, travel.
I work primary digitally but I also loves to add some of analog texture in my work.
My clients include: Knizny rys Publishing House, Ecoidea.me online-magazine, UN Global Compact Network Belarus, UNICEF, ARTTONA, private clients.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and daughter, travel, biking, baking a craft bread, painting something for myself, exploring nature.
