Hello, I'm Yana
I'm an artist, and as you might have seen if you've taken this ride, I make comics, cartoons, zines, graphic novels, paintings and my own imaginary friends and countries...
And show others how to do the same.
My work is inspired by the extraordinary experience of being a human and living a life in its richness in a playful, surreal and sometimes absurd way. It's highly influenced by my colourful life, having lived in six (real) countries through many adventures and worlds, and comes about through experimentation, humour, storytelling and performance.
My artistic practice has evolved over the years and has now taken me to Stockholm, Sweden, where I'm playing with creative technologies to see where they can take my practice, my imagination,
and my story...
