Yana Popova
|
Yana Popova is a London-based children’s book illustrator and visual storyteller who creates playful, inventive worlds that spark curiosity in young readers. Working across traditional and digital media, Yana specializes in vibrant, character-driven illustrations distinguished by bold color, dynamic composition, and intricate detail. Her memorable characters and engaging visual narratives encourage children to explore, laugh, and imagine.
Her work sits at the intersection of children’s literature and contemporary printmaking. Alongside her book projects, Yana maintains an active practice inspired by nature and the tactile qualities of handmade processes. Through screen printing and other graphic techniques, she experiments with texture, form, layered surfaces, and expressive mark-making. This exploration continually evolves her visual language and brings depth, authenticity, and a distinctive artistic voice to her illustrations. Whether illustrating picture books or producing limited-edition screen prints, Yana aims to create art that children can grow up with and adults will want to keep. Yana is represented by Jackie Garcia-Morales. Publications
