Hello, my name is Evgeniia Saprykina, in illustration world known as Yelllowlion. Currently I live in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and this is one of the most beautiful and inspiring cities in the world.

​

I am graduated manager and graphic designer and an illustrator by passion.

​

My path to illustration has not been as easy as I would have liked. I worked

for a long time in the field of visa services, it gave me the opportunity to maintain and improve my knowledge of foreign languages, English and German. I loved this work, but my soul belonged to drawing since childhood.

​

Only illustration gives me such emotions as joy, pleasure, peace and even satisfaction with life. Being an illustrator for me means being in the right place.

So I was able to find the strength in myself to change my life and finally dedicate

it entirely to illustration.

​

Over past five years I developed my own style of bright and kind sunny illustrations. I collaborated with WWF Russia, Signed (USA), Dreame (Israel), children's educational portal Chevostik (Russia), publishing houses Prof-Press and Fenix (Russia), I made logos and characters for children's schools and addition education studios in Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg and Moscow.

​

I believe that art has the power of kindness, peace and beauty. And I am happy to be a part of art and create this kindness with my own hands.
