Luka is a Lithuanian illustrator creating upbeat naive art pieces with quirky characters. She is inspired by everyday city life, works by modern illustrators and cartoonists, street art and nature. After moving to Australia, Luka started exhibiting in group exhibitions with works ranging from tiny ink drawings to multicolored canvas paintings. Animal themes are one of Luka's favorites as there is a little bit of animal in everybody. The most interesting part is creating the anthropomorphic characters—figures of creatures having attributes of both city dwelling humans and animals in their natural wilderness. The inspiration originates from the various everyday rituals of human beings, and different techniques are used to capture it. Every artwork tells a story, and every character comes alive. “Sometimes I can feel them sitting in sketchbooks, hanging out on paper or canvas and watching me. Am I going crazy?”
