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 />
