Daria Mingaleva is an illustrator celebrated for her use of vibrant colors, flat compositions, and textured elements that recall the charm of traditional printmaking. Her work draws inspiration from late 20th-century book illustration, her love of nature, and everyday life, resulting in art that radiates warmth, humor, and a sense of connection. Whether working on editorial pieces or personal projects, Daria’s illustrations are thoughtfully crafted to evoke positivity and foster a deeper engagement with her audience. One of her notable achievements includes creating visuals for the "Shleepy Stories" mobile app, which helps children drift off to sleep with its soothing and inviting designs. When she's not illustrating, Daria enjoys baking, caring for her extensive plant collection, and dancing as a form of gratitude for her creative life. She has collaborated with clients such as Flacon Magazine, WIM agency, yasno.live, and Dotbake, blending her artistic vision with diverse narratives.
