Photo by Roman Krikheli
| My name is Anatoly Vyalikh. I'm hereditary* graphic designer, illustrator, typographer and photographer born in capital of Latvia, Riga, living in city Daugavpils surrounded by beautiful lakes, forests and fields. Now I am studying in Moscow (Russia) in British Higher School of Art and Design (University of Hertfordshire). After summer I plan to get Visual Communications BA degree in University of Hertfordshire in the UK. I create graphic design, motion design, illustrations, photographs and animations taking inspiration from nature and history. * In the 19th century my great-grandpa Matvey being young, worked as a typographer and graphic designer in Omsk (Siberia) for 10 years. At that time it was Russian Empire and country was leaded by Romanov's royal family. | Моё имя Анатолий Вялых.
