VIKTORIA MLADENOVSKI
Illustrator and Artist in Berlin
Advertisement / Editorial / Publishing
Hi, I’m a multidisciplinary illustrator and animator who lives and works in Berlin.
Having completed my Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature I decided to combine my passion for drawing and storytelling.
My queer feminist illustrations are a kaleidoscope of bold colours, playful energy and whimsical characters dancing across the page. They're lively, witty and a bit unexpected.
My work is contemporary with a touch of retro, each image telling its own story.
I create to explore themes that speak to me deeply, drawing from my inner world as well as the outer one around us. My work reflects personal insights, emotions, observations, inviting views to engage with human stories rather than abstract notions.
Whether I draw, make puppets or ceramic pieces, I get inspiration from everywhere: life impressions, my own dreams, art, fashion, film and books.
When I'm not drawing, you can find me curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.


I bring passion and creativity to every project, collaborating closely to bring your vision to life with originality and impact. Reliable and attentive to deadlines, I turn complex ideas into vivid, engaging imagery that connects emotionally. I’m eager to partner on projects that value bold, playful creativity and fresh perspectives.
