I am Polina Tikunova. I was born in Tallinn, Estonia, where I graduated Tallinn Art School and Baltic Film and Media School (BA), but I found my art venue in Vilnius, Lithuania, where I am living right now. As the preparation for my present job I worked as a storyboard artist. Besides, I have been interested in visual arts since my childhood as I have been inclined to create drawings, comics, and illustrations to visualize my own stories. My dear guest, I hope my portfolio can bring you some ideas about your own Story – colorful, unforgettable, and with a sense of humor.
