Biography

Vika is an Israeli artist originally from Russia born in 1987. In 2013 she graduated with a B.A degree in Film Studies & Animation Production from Sapir College. Following her graduation, she moved to Tel Aviv and worked as a freelance animation designer for a boutique studio, while experimenting with a variety of plastic arts practices in her free time.
