Hello!
My name is Valentina, aka Valuca. I am a multidisciplinary illustrator, animator and graphic designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
I graduated from the Department of Visual Communication at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (B.Des).
I like to combine traditional media techniques with the digital medium creating unique images.
I love to draw nature and whimsical scenes but I am also curious about themes of surrealism, mystics, folktales and history. I also love chocolate.
