About:
My name is Jenya Polosina, I am an illustrator from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I usually work with social themes. Of all topics, I prefer those related to human rights, from investigations about torture in prisons to graphic reports from the Kyiv Pride march. I draw for media, books, NGOs, and a variety of other clients. I also have many personal projects.
In 2015, my partner Anna Ivanenko and I co-founded the Seri\graph studio. Together we make screenprints, zines, and different visual projects.
There is a war in my home today, so most of my current illustrations are about this. So at the top of my website, you can find a link with info on how to help Ukraine in the war with Russia.
