Victor Grudakov was born and raised in Stryi, Lviv region. After graduating from the art school in his hometown, he entered the Mykhailo Boichuk Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts in Kyiv. Since then, Victor has dedicated himself to graphic design and even co-founded the creative bureau once.agency.

When the war in Ukraine broke out, Victor came back to his roots — drawing as it is. Since then, he has created various illustrations and believes now that drawing has always been his real vocation.
