HI, I'M VITONICKA
a.k.a. Milena, Czech illustrator, writer and traveler chasing her dream life – not for a happy ending, but for a happy ongoing.
Being an artist and storyteller feels like a leap of faith every single day, but it’s the only way that makes sense to me.​ I'm creating something that’s me, not some empty project just for likes or money. This is my heartbeat on a page, in every drawing, in every story.
I long for freedom and for the rhythm of a life lived boldly. One day you'll find me on a road trip along the sunny Mediterranean coast. The next day with an ice axe stuck in a glacier. Other day working in a bustling city or at home in bed reading all day long. These experiences and expeditions make their way into my work... And I will draw and write about them as long as I can. For myself & for you.​​
​​
With love, Vi.

I'M ALWAYS OPEN TO COLLABORATE

I'm doing it for her. The one who’s barefoot on Sicilian tiles, jasmine in the window, sun on her shoulders. The one who's sipping coffee in her Paris studio.
