Welcome to our Illustrated world

Marta & Livonka is a studio dedicated to handcrafted surface patterns with a clear sense of order and intention.

We create hand-painted designs that combine richness and restraint — patterns built with structure, rhythm, and visual balance. Each work is expressive yet controlled, detailed yet composed.

The Artist Behind the Studio

Why Marta & Livonka

A Lasting Perspective

Artist Ira Mushkarova leads Marta & Livonka. Her visual language was shaped early by heritage, craft, and close observation.
Hand-embroidered linens made by her grandmother, stories of a strong great-grandmother, and a home where elegance was created through imagination — not abundance — formed a deep respect for detail, restraint, and beauty with purpose.

In a world overwhelmed by visual noise, Marta & Livonka exists to restore clarity, restraint, and aesthetic integrity to commercial surfaces. The studio works with a quiet, deliberate mindset — valuing taste over trends and intention over excess. Each design is created to feel considered, mature, and culturally grounded rather than merely decorative.

Nature remains a constant reference — flowers, leaves, and forms refined by time rather than trends.

This perspective defines the studio’s work today: creating designs that bring quiet beauty and lasting value to everyday objects.
