Book Covers
and Editorial Illustration
The House of Asterion
Personal project: this one is a book cover for The House of Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges. This story is just a few pages long, but I couldn't resist the temptation to design its own cover as if it were a novel.
Moonlight Shines Over 1000 Li & The Defect
These are the covers I made for two emerging writers, Yuna Vais and Alex Edelweiss. Working on these projects was a great pleasure because I got to meet the authors in person and discuss their novels together. I was responsible for creating cover art, designing or choosing the right fonts, formatting, and getting files print-ready.
The portrait on the right was made by Darya Les' (@chainiipocket on Instagram).
Mmmm, Coffee
Speculative Illustrations for an Atlantic article about the effects of sleep deprivation.
Diary of a Young Naturalist
Book cover design for Diary of a Young Naturalist by Dara McAnulty.
The Afflictions
Book cover for the Russian edition of The Afflictions by Vikram Paralkar.
Steppenwolf
Illustration and book cover for Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. In a nutshell, the aim of this project was to find out what communicates Hesse's idea better than images of werewolves (that trivialise Hesse’s idea and reduce Harry Haller’s multifaceted personality to the platitudinous "two souls in one body"). As a result, I created a book cover and four full-bleed illustrations filled with various symbols and allusions.

February 24
This small diary-esque picture book describes my life during the first month of the invasion of Ukraine and calls for action, encouraging readers to help Ukrainian refugees and raise awareness about this war.
