Mariia Luzina was born in 1994, in the small city of Kryvyj Rih, Ukraine, where she lived with her grandparents. At the age of 15, she immigrated to Italy, to live with her mother, where she obtained a degree in Political Science at The ""L'Orientale"" University. From a very young age, Mariia loved to draw, so much so, that she went to an art school when she was still a child. For many years, though she was passionate about art, she considered drawing just a hubby. When she was 20, her best friend encouraged her to become an illustrator for children's books. Mariia decided to give it a try and has never looked back!
