Andrea Bojkovska is a multidisciplinary creative, with background in architecture, currently working in the fields of illustration and visual art. She runs the monthly newsletter and shop 'Gentle art for stormy hearts'.
Her imperfect and witty compositions span both client collaborations and personal projects.
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'.

In Between
A glimpse into my ongoing sketchbooks — raw drawings, fragments of poems, and visual experiments that capture the first pulse of ideas before they grow into larger works.

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.
''New year, old me.'
The 2025 no pressure calendarNew year, old me! The 2025 No Pressure Calendar is here to remind you that it’s okay to not fulfil all your new year resolutions. Filled with imperfectly charming illustrations and witty reminders, that some of those shi*ty situation happen to all of us.Flipping through the months, you’ll have 12 quirky situations that will serve you as this kind of reminder and bring a smile on your face!
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.
