Andrea Bojkovska is an illustrator and visual artist. Her imperfect and witty compositions span both client collaborations and personal projects. She runs the newsletter and shop 'Gentle art for stormy hearts'.

She illustrates emotions, often reflecting on the struggles of modern life. Her magic lies in portraying difficult topics in a lighter way. Best compliment that she got for her work:
'My mum who is a therapist has your illustration on the wall in her office. She said that it's been helpful to many patients to express themselves in their sessions'.

Andrea is often involved in projects around psychology, but with curiosity and room for other fields as well.From practitioners and art directors to brands, writers, and podcasters, she collaborates with people who want to spotlight ideas that truly matter.

Her paintings explore the emotional landscapes of modern life, where vulnerability, humor, and tension intertwine.

In BetweenIn Between marks the beginning of one of my most personal and ambitious projects to date. Inspired by the concept of the third space, it explores what it means to exist between two places—both emotionally and geographically.The work draws from the ongoing migration crisis in my home country and the complex feeling of loving it from afar.Through drawing, painting, and writing, I reflect on belonging, displacement, and the quiet strength it takes to stay connected to a place that is both home and memory.

Dealing with anorexia,
Illustrations and design of a guide - ongoing project
Commissioned by Psychiatry department for children and adolescents in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

TimeIn my project inspired by the concept of time,
I explore the relentless deadline culture of modern society that perpetually forces us to rush.
Through a series of dynamic and chaotic visuals, I depict how this incessant pressure can lead to overwhelming anxiety and a disconnection from the present moment. Each piece is a commentary on the need to reclaim our time and find balance amidst the haste.
