Julia Janka

Hi, I'm Julia Janka, an Tampere based illustrator, fine artist and graphic designer. Variety and exploring different genres are the key elements of my work: I paint and photograph, illustrate natural scientific materials as well as books and book covers, and design textures and patterns. I also create illustrations and murals both in interior spaces and outdoors. Thanks to my traditional education in the arts, I master several painting and drawing techniques. As a graphic designer, I’m also an accomplished digital illustrator.

I specialize in natural science illustrations. I prefer to paint species descriptions and biotopes with watercolors, but for example, I illustrated the Urban Rotten Wood Guide book and the ecological compensation board game called Offsetting Game, digitally.
