Anastasia Rykova is a visual development artist, illustrator and a filmmaker with an interest in art direction. Coming from a Fine Arts background, she sees animation as a unique form of art with the most powerful tools for self-expression. Art always served as a healing mechanism for Anastasia, and animation is not an exception. Every message and emotion has its perfect storytelling form, and she got into the animation industry with a desire to learn the forms she lacked in Fine Arts.
