Regina Malcev
I am an artist, illustrator. The specificity of my work is defined by a variety of artistic styles. I approach each project according to the client’s wishes and possibilities. Within each project I look for a thematically appropriate art style with respect to the client’s requirements. For this reason, my handwriting is never the same.
What influenced my work and how did I start? A major milestone that shaped my personality was successfully passing the talent exams and subsequent admission to the textile art school.
2004 was a crucial year. Illustrating a book with erotic overtones and the title “Czech Eros Girls Tell Stories.” The book was accompanied by pictures by Kája Saudek, which was an immense honour for me. It was a great collaboration lasting almost a year, which was a breakthrough in my life. Over the following years, other projects started to come, more or less building on each other.
The collaboration with the advertising agency Your Artillery became significant, thanks to which I could be involved in the art and participate in exclusive projects for Sun Microsystems, TOI TOI, WATER ROADS, etc. In 2008, my heart was in collaboration with doc. Jan Mešt’ák on his book Nose through the eyes of a plastic surgeon. All this was accompanied by publishing illustrations for Hustler, Neireport, Pevnost magazine.
I draw jokes, illustrate for magazines, books. I cover a wide range of subjects, from erotic themes to children’s drawings.
