Taisija Kalinina is a talented artist who enjoys exploring all sorts of different subjects, but she’s truly on top of her game when she’s drawing food. Her illustrations of juicy fruits are among the best on her Instagram page, and they look just as delicious as the real thing.
Kalinina was born and raised in Lithuania, and being an artist was always part of her DNA. She grew up surrounded by professional artists who encouraged her to express herself creatively – even if it meant having her scribble all around the walls and furniture in her house.
Kalinina pursued formal education at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, where she excelled in many different areas, from drawing and painting to textiles. Following graduation, she decided to use the power of social media to find an audience and attracted 590,000 followers to her Instagram page @kkkalinina.art.
Kalinina finds inspiration everywhere she turns, from nature to popular culture, but she’s truly on top of her game when she’s drawing food. Some of her most popular viral videos see her capturing juicy fruits, from lemons and pomegranates to berries and avocados, in a highly realistic style, and she enjoys embracing the same approach with other subjects.
