Albina Petrova – Designer

Creative Children’s illustrator. Education: Stieglitz Art Academy. I love creating an amazing life inside a book 😌💫

Overview

I am a professional illustrator with a degree in fine arts. I studied monumental and decorative arts at the Stieglitz Academy of Art and Design in St. Petersburg. I have over six years of experience in the field.

I especially enjoy creating children’s illustrations with great attention to detail — carefully crafting unique characters and selecting expressive color palettes. My goal is to build a vivid, imaginative world inspired by your story.

I’m a perfectionist in my work: I refine every illustration until it reaches its full potential. I enjoy adding a touch of humor to my art, constantly experiment with styles, explore new artistic approaches, and never stop learning.

If you’re looking for an illustrator who brings professionalism, creativity, and genuine dedication to your project — let’s collaborate!

I created unique illustrations for this book. This book explores neuroimmunoendocrinology—a science that studies how “signal molecules” regulate vital processes in the body. Readers will discover how important and fascinating this field is. Its history could even inspire a romantic novel. #TheMagicalOrchestraofLife

The book is fully illustrated by me and is presented as a very large comic. In this book, I had to create a character—a puppy—who accidentally flies away on a hot air balloon on an adventure. #TravelonFourPaws
