5 questions for the illustrator Anna Rudak

Many Varsovians might recognize your work on the new stairs at Browary Warszawie. Have you been in the public eye before?

Yes. I have created many visual projects for about ten years as a freelancer now. From time to time, my projects appear in the urban space of Warsaw – murals (e.g. for Converse, Perspektywy Women in Tech), window display projects for the Galilu store.

Can you explain a little about your inspirations?

My main inspiration for creating illustrations is everyday life. I like to look for associations and build atmosphere through the selection of colors and textures. Nature, the female silhouette, and the decorative aspect of design and fashion are probably my favorite themes that I intertwine with each other.

Can you tell us about your process of creating?

In each of my works, there is an element of hand-drawn illustration, and I create textures myself. Even though my illustration is ultimately digital, it consists of many analog elements – ink, paint, pencils. I hope that in the age of AI, our human art will still have an audience, and our imagination and the style and experience built up over the years will always stand the test with class.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I come from Gdańsk, where I completed my studies at the Graphics Department, and I also live here. For several years, I worked in the graphic design profession, and thanks to that, I understood that I must become a freelancer. Since then, I have been slowly searching for my path, taking on commissions from various industries. The diversity of work that comes to me allows me to develop my skills and encourages me to continually find myself in the creative process – this is the greatest joy for me, to truly combine passion and work and additionally be appreciated for it.

Do you find Warsaw as a city inspiring visually, if so, can you explain a little?

I often visit Warsaw, and I highly value the energy of a big city that has a lot to offer – visually, artistically, and culinarily! 🙂 Warsaw can inspire with its boldness when it comes to creative initiatives, which in the face of such a large city must truly know how to attract the audience. Life by the sea flows with a significantly different, calmer rhythm.
