About me
My name is Victoria Zhivotneva and I'm an illustrator based in Lugano, Switzerland. I was born in Moscow, where I attended an Art School. Some years later, following the strong passion I developed for art and interior design, I continued my studies at the Marangoni Design School in Milan as an interior designer. That is why you will often find interiors and elements of architecture in my works.
​
I'm attracted by vintage atmospheres, jazz music and anything that can inspire dreams. My working day starts with a wonderful view on the Swiss Alps and the unforgettable mountain Brè, which is an endless source of inspiration just in front.
​
About my works
All my original works are created with the watercolour technique on Fabriano or Arches paper. Art prints are digital prints, produced on the basis of the original watercolour works. All art prints are printed on matte fine art paper in a local typography.
​
Should you wish to frame an original work or an art print, I have created some personal suggestions that you can find in the "framing." section.
