Hi!
I’m Kateryna Cherniavska, a children’s book illustrator, character designer, and concept artist from Ukraine, currently based in Poland.

I have over 15 years of professional art experience.

Today, my main focus is digital illustration, character design and children’s books.
I especially do love creating expressive characters, emotions, visual storytelling, and warm, cinematic illustrations that bring stories to life.

My background is rooted in traditional painting, including realistic watercolor and oil painting. I had two solo exhibitions in Ukraine and w, and my work was also exhibited as part of exhibitions of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine.

I also have over 3 years of experience creating digital illustrations for casual and semi-realistic games, as well as experience designing characters for animated projects. My background in 3D modeling has also helped me develop a stronger understanding of form, volume, perspective, and character construction.

Over the years, I’ve worked with authors, publishers, major content creators and bloggers, as well as a wide range of international clients.
I’ve collaborated on projects for hospitals in Dubai and New York, and my clients come from all around the world. These collaborations have given me experience working with different audiences, cultures, and creative needs.

At THU, I’m looking forward to meeting publishers, art directors, creative teams, fellow artists, and like-minded people, as well as discovering new opportunities and collaborations.

I’m also really happy that THU happens to fall around my birthday this year, which makes this trip feel even more special. It feels like a wonderful birthday gift to myself.

Feel free to say hello!
