"Hi! My name is Viktoria and I am a illustrator, graphic designer and artist located in Iceland. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember — it's my nature and my passion. I love experimenting with different styles and techniques, learn and discover something new. There is certainly no limits for self improvement."
