DARIA KUVAKINA was born in 1991 in the Russian city of Arkhangelsk. She once studied Architecture in St. Petersburg as well as in Hamburg, where she also lives today. Since 2023, she has been on the team of the Ambassador of Illustration – and is dedicated entirely, of course, to illustration.
Before that, though, Daria studied Architecture at the HCU Hamburg and worked as an architect for seven years. Her first shot at self-fulfillment put her on the path to discovering her one true calling – illustration.
Her portfolio is marked by impressive illustration: lines, colors, light and shadows. Positive and friendly, ready for a broad range of requirements with regard to content and technique in the area of illustration and animation. Character development has meanwhile become a strong suit – upon request gladly with a pinch of humor. Thematic compositions : her visualizations are full of rich detail and easy to understand.
Her personified animals or animal characters are particularly appreciated by banks and insurances. Lines are reduced to create icons. “The former architect’s keen eye for spatial perspective is, of course, focused on illustration.” Caroline Seidler, Ambassador of Illustration.
