– Versione italiana a pagina 2 –

This is a series of illustrated interviews created in partnership with Art Lab, a boutique illustration agency connecting visionary artists with world-class clients in publishing, advertising, and editorial. The concept is always the same: five prompts that illustrators respond to with small drawings — not something complex or highly polished, but quick sketches on paper, like when we were kids and gave shape to our imagination. This is Daria Mingaleva.

Art Lab represents both emerging and established international talent, curating portfolios that stand out in a competitive market.
Their mission is simple: to bridge the gap between exceptional talent and the global brands, publishers, and institutions that need them. Art Lab Agency champions unique styles, empowers artists to build sustainable creative businesses, and constantly explores new models of visibility.

Daria Mingaleva is an illustrator celebrated for her use of vibrant colors, flat compositions, and textured elements that recall the charm of traditional printmaking.
Her work draws inspiration from late 20th-century book illustration, her love of nature, and everyday life, resulting in art that radiates warmth, humor, and a sense of connection. Whether working on editorial pieces or personal projects, Daria’s illustrations are thoughtfully crafted to evoke positivity and foster a deeper engagement with her audience.
One of her notable achievements includes creating visuals for the “Shleepy Stories” mobile app, which helps children drift off to sleep with its soothing and inviting designs. When she’s not illustrating, Daria enjoys baking, caring for her extensive plant collection, and dancing as a form of gratitude for her creative life.
She has collaborated with clients such as Flow Magazine, Blueprint, Flacon Magazine, WIM agency, yasno.live, and Dotbake, blending her artistic vision with diverse narratives.
