about Arjuk
«Οὐ γὰρ ἐχομεν ὧδε μένουσαν πόλιν,
ἀλλὰ τὴν μέλλουσαν ἐπιζητοῦμεν»
ἀλλὰ τὴν μέλλουσαν ἐπιζητοῦμεν»
Greetings!
I’m Anastasia_Arjuk, a Greek illustrator, based in Portugal, intermittently in transit. I enjoy dabbling in all sorts of creative things, but illustration has always been my bestest precious. <3
My favourite tools of the trade are water based mixed media and simple drawing materials: tempera, aquarella and gouache; (coloured) pencils, graphite, etc. For the scarce digital disposition I work with Krita.

Besides drawing I'm very fond of terracotta air dry clay, a very versatile and beautiul material; for some reason sculpting feels like sketching in three dimensions and I would love to stick with it a bit more.
Also, once in a blue moon I like to fiddle with the occasional collage, some sporadic scrap-booking or a slice of linocut, to keep things more interesting.
I tend to work on many pieces at the same time which makes me slow, confused and exhilarated all at once, but we are what we are, correct? Fortunately there’s rarely a shortage of ideas. Many works in (simmering) development, looking forward to sharing them in the near future.
Thank you for reading.
