This is a series of illustrated interviews a bit special because it is made in partnership with Tillanelli, a Saint Petersburg-based illustration collective. The basic concept is always the same: 5 inputs to which illustrators respond through sketches. Not something complex and elaborate, but just sketches on paper, as when as children we give shape to our imagination. Let’s get to know something about this beautiful reality and the illustrators who are part of it.
Tillanelli is an illustration studio created and inspired by ladies. We’re an international team focused on illustration and motion design. We love minimal and colorful aesthetic, and clear storytelling. Also, we love pizza.

I am Irina Kiro illustrator and co-founder of Tillanelli Studio.
All my life I have wanted to draw and I can’t do anything else, to be honest.
I love to look for interesting shapes and color combinations. Each new project is a challenge for me.
Now I try to draw more on the iPad, it’s very convenient, you can draw anywhere, including lying on the couch, in a cafe, on the street.
I love going out of town with my dog, he is actively running, and I enjoy the moment.
I almost always make pasta. And in 20 years, I see myself in my villa with a prosseco overlooking the sea.
