I am Anastasia Pavlovskaya, a designer, illustrator, and art director living in Italy. I have a background in architecture and fine arts, a master's degree from Moscow Architectural University (with honors), and over 25 years of professional experience in design, illustration, and creative direction. I worked as an art director at a creative advertising agency, managing teams of designers, developing visual identities, and creating award-winning projects for international clients in the pharmaceutical, banking, IT, and manufacturing sectors. My work has received more than 25 professional awards, and some of my pieces are kept in museum collections in Germany and Russia. Since 2015, I have been working independently, creating corporate identities, illustrations, jewelry and accessory collections, as well as visual concepts for cultural and commercial projects. Along with traditional methods of drawing and working with materials, I integrate artificial intelligence tools into my work, using them for visual research, image generation, and text development as part of my contemporary creative process, exclusively at the client's request. My practice combines conceptual thinking, a systematic approach, a desire for maximum effectiveness of visual images, and attention to form, material, and meaning. In 2022, due to my country's aggressive politics towards Ukraine and the terror against its own citizens within the country, I left Russia and now live in a mountain village in Italy.
