I’m Daria — an illustrator born in Odessa and now based in Rome.

In my work, I try to capture the delicate traces of dreams and the fleeting feeling of fading memories, turning them into images that carry both wonder and a touch of nostalgia.

When I’m not drawing, I like taking photographs, creating collages, or playing piano — small ways of exploring rhythm, silence, and detail. I love observing the world closely, noticing what often goes unseen, and weaving those impressions into my illustrations.

My goal is to create artwork that feels both personal and universal — stories told through color, texture, and quiet emotion.
