Vitalia 'Hikanart' Streltsova
Illustrator / Character Designer / Concept Artist
Moscow, Russian FederationHello!
My name is Vitalia and my cat really loves what I do.
Isn’t it enough for you? Alright, give me a few minutes to convince you sure that I am the right person for you.
Truly amazing projects create only those people who love their job. And I consider myself to be such a person. Am I special? Well, I can’t tell, but It’s up to you to decide (and, of course, my cat will never lie, so please consider its opinion too). I will only say that I'm very passionate, attentive and creative to work on any task, because it helps me to develop in this area and to discover new and amazing things in the process. Each of my work teaches me something, so I'm not afraid of complex tasks, even more, I look forward to them.
I am proud to realise that my work is my hobby and a very important part of my life, so I want to make every effort to create incredibly attractive and atmospheric things that can't only surprise people, but also inspire, touch their souls and fire their imagination. This is the essence of art. And my cat agrees with this, but will you agree too?

I created a series of powerful and meaningful art covers for musical compositions. The next step was the creation of separate lyric videos for each composition, for a more visual presentation and the transmission of the meaning of the lyrics, which contributed to more than 40% increase in listeners.
