HI, I'M VITONICKA
a.k.a. Milena, Czech writer, illustrator and traveler chasing her dream life – not for a happy ending, but for a happy ongoing.
Being an artist and storyteller feels like a leap of faith every single day, but it’s the only way that makes sense to me.​ I'm creating something that’s me, not some empty project just for likes or money. This is my joy and heartbeat on a page, in every drawing, in every story.
I long for freedom and for the rhythm of a life lived boldly. One day you'll find me on a road trip along the sunny Mediterranean coast. The next day with an ice axe stuck in a glacier. Other day working in a bustling city or at home in bed reading all day long. These experiences and expeditions make their way into my work... And I will draw and write about them as long as I can. For myself & for you.​​
​​
With love, Vi.

I'M ALWAYS OPEN TO COLLABORATE

I do it for her. The one who's barefoot on the Sicilian tiles, the jasmine smells in her window, the sun touches her shoulders and a half-written page waits in the typewriter. The one who drinks coffee in her Parisian studio.
