Illustrator: Ljiljana Kuruca

Ljiljana Kuruca is a self-taught illustrator based in Serbia. Drawing animals and animal-like creatures is her thing. Her style is gentle and playful, drawing makes her soul sing and it is her place of serenity. When she was a kid, her world pretty much revolved around animals and drawing. However, at one point in her life she got the impression that she needs to choose between these two, to live a decent life. So, she decided art career was not for her and chose veterinary medicine instead. And it felt right for a while. However, by the end of her PhD studies she started drawing again… She is currently working as university professor and illustrator in Novi Sad.
