Sofiia Melnyk is a Ukrainian illustrator and animator. In 2018 she graduated from the Animationsinstitut at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and has been working as a freelancer since. She has illustrated several books and music album covers, worked as an animator, animation supervisor and designer on short movies, as well as animated feature films and documentaries for TV and cinema. Her own projects have more of a documentary touch. Furthermore, she works in theatre, creating live visualisation for plays and audio-visual performances. Her frequent partners are Gogolfest and Dakh Theatre from Ukraine, Deutsches Theater Berlin and Das Dokumentartheater from Berlin and Münchner Kammerspiele. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine, she has been exploring this topic in her work, participating in projects which explain Ukrainian issues to the world and promote Ukrainian art. Sofiia loves to combine animation with literature, illustrate music and is a big AnimaDoc fan.
