Digital Artist
About Me
Hi, I'm Mika,
though you might know me better as Polychromika.I'm a digital artist based in Germany, creating vibrant illustrations of animals and fantasy creatures, with a special love for domestic cats. My work is inspired by the beauty, personality, and quiet magic I find in the animals around us, blending realism with rich colors and a touch of imagination.My artistic journey began in school, where I attended specialized painting classes that nurtured my passion for art. I later studied Art History and Archaeology at university, gaining a deep understanding of visual culture, artistic techniques, and the stories art can tell. While my education focused on the theory of art, I always dreamed of creating my own.That dream became reality in 2020, when I picked up an iPad Pro and began teaching myself digital painting. Combining years of artistic knowledge with countless hours of practice, I developed a style that celebrates bold, luminous color and expressive lighting. Every piece is an opportunity to capture not only the appearance of an animal, but also its unique spirit and personality.When I'm not painting, you'll usually find my two cats, Captain and Odin, keeping me company. They are my greatest muses, endless sources of inspiration, and very patient quality control supervisors.Whether I'm painting a beloved pet, a mythical beast, or something in between, my goal is always the same: to create artwork that feels alive, colorful, and full of wonder.
