Ema Malyauka is an illustrator from Belarus, currently based in The Netherlands. She fell in love with books from a young age, spending hours in book stores with her mother, and later turned her passion into a career. She studied at an art school as a child and went on to specialize in teaching and critiquing art. After graduating, she felt something was missing though, and decided to realize her dream of becoming an illustrator and start sharing her creations on Instagram.
Ema has since worked on illustrations for encyclopedias, postcards, book covers, and more. She has collaborated with Adobe, as well as smaller companies and charities, and has had her work published in China and South Korea. She also came third in an Adobe drawing contest. Ema has built a creative community called Sketch & Breakfast that brings artists together to sketch on a weekly basis, and she also sells her prints on Etsy.
