K.Felezner

graphic design & illustration

PROJECTS

I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts from Rosario Gagliardi Academy of Fine Arts, MADE Program in 2026, with 110 e lode. Before moving to Italy, I studied Illustration at the British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow, a programme I was only able to complete partially due to my transfer. During my study at two universities, I continued my education through a graphic design course at Bang Bang Education and a 2D artist course at Skillsup School.

My work starts from concept and structure. Before anything becomes visual, I build the logic of a project — the idea it carries, the hierarchy it needs, the system that will hold it together across formats. Illustration and graphic design are not separate disciplines for me but two sides of the same process: illustration gives a project its own voice, while graphic design organises that voice into something clear and functional. I move between the two constantly, often developing the visual language and art-directing the layout of the same project from first sketch to final outcome.
