Anka Zhuravleva<br />
Anka Zhuravleva was born on December 4, 1980. She spent her childhood with books on<br />
art and her mothers’ drawing tools, covering acres of paper with her drawings. In 1997 she<br />
entered the Moscow Architectural Institute deciding to follow her mothers’ footsteps. But at<br />
the end of 1997 her mother was diagnosed with cancer and died in less than a year. Then her<br />
father died in 1999.<br />
After that Anka’s life changed dramatically. In attempt to keep sane, she plunged into an alternative<br />
lifestyle - working as a tatoo artist, singing in a rock - band, sometimes looking for<br />
escape in alcohol. In order to make a living while styding, Anka worked at several modeling<br />
agencies. Thanks to the drawing lessons she wasn’t afraid to pose nude, and her photos appeared<br />
in Playboy and XXL magazines and at the Playboy 1999 photo exhibition.<br />
