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.
This website was made to share my portfolio and my love of illustration. At times I enjoy communicating my thoughts about art related subjects as well, but mostly I just really like to paint. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My favourite tools of the trade are water based mix media and simple drawing materials: mainly egg-tempera and aquarella; pencils, graphite, ink etc. I prefer to work on heavy watercolour paper and sketchbooks. I want my artwork to look and feel as organic as possible.
For fun I dabble with terracotta and linocuts; for the odd digital disposition I use Krita.

I'm afraid I don’t have much of an "artist statement" to make. Never cared for them either.
My artistic education is severely lacking but practice makes perfect as they say. I figure things out as I go, focus on what I love and try not to let myself get distracted with the overabundance of ideas and possibilities; easier said than done frankly.
Many works in simmering development and thoughts in rumination. I look forward to sharing them in the near future. For now, I’ll just thank you for reading and I hope to see you around again soon.
Cheers!
