About

Artist and Illustrator Under name of Akileer Art

Reelika Tooming

I was born in Tartu in 1991.

I remember myself mostly drawing or molding figures with plasticine. I was constantly creating something. When I was thirteen years old, I started to do comics for fun. But somehow, I stayed with them. I was bullied in primary school and I didn’t had any friends. When I was creating stories, I was escaping from reality to a fantasy world, which helped me through hard times. Later, I made a decision that I wanted to be an artist and create stories.

I started my art studies at Tartu Art College, where I studied Painting and painting restoration. In my studies, I have been with Erasmus Czech Republic at Pardubice University in the Restauration faculty. After graduation, I developed myself as an illustrator.
2020 Spring: I started to study at Tartu Art School as an illustrator.
I have done two wall paintings. One is located in Slovakia, and the second is located in Latvia. I had an illustrated children’s book, “Suza and the Shadow”.
Since 2020. August, I have been doing Improvised acting under Ruutu10. It helps me with creativity and communication skills. There, I learn the narrative of the stories and notice other people.

Everybody has some stories to remember. They can be together with some loved ones, weird instants and small moments. There are sayings like “Life is a movie!” or Life is weirder than a movie!”. Those are the stories that inspire me. Why not use this chance and entertain you with some weird stories or touch your soul with some lovely stories with my creativity?
