Hi, I am Lika, a graduate from Edinburgh College of Art, MA illustration program.
From 2022-2023, I have made several projects, I create picture books, comic and graphic novel, editing them into books.I have skills in graphic design and illustrations, therefore these skills help me to continuously propose and develop personal projects.
In my themes, I have a fondness for nature, vast fields, or mysterious sensations. These projects encompass my every feeling of "lost in thoughts," "marvelous dreams," "nostalgia," and "awe for the cycle of life and death."
A Sci-fi graphic novel project adapted from a 1961 science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanislaw Lem. It's about the scientists search about the intelligence on the planet, however, they met the things gradually driving them crazy, and puzzled by the truth and the thing on the planet.
“I escaped, and I had to wander for the rest of my life. These places show me how temporary I am and how eternal they are.” From the perspective of " I " pass by different places. They are silent and sleep peacefully. Everything has its destination, but "I "can't stay. This book expresses the wandering, lonely soul that roams in search of a place to rest its body and heart. Reading it takes the reader on a silent, lonely, dissociative, like adrift journey.
“We are dust ,and we are everything in this nature world.” Nature is a beautiful topic. During the time I explore Scotland, most of places I been are wild places, I love forests, weald and ocean, the lives here inspired me to do a project about nature and life, they often make me feel like I am a part of it all, our bodies belonging to nature, embraced by its vast green arms......
"I come bearing tidings from beyond,But how can I impart what I've been shown? My dear you, we have to lost our memory.” The story is about the girl, who took a long journey, and waiting to tell the stories she know from the other world, but when she finally could see this world, she forget everything, she become a small baby, the only word she could speak out is: mama.....
