Estookin Andreen


From one creative passion to the next, my path leads me deeper into my work, constantly creating, learning, and developing my skill set. Born and raised in Tallinn, Estonia, I’ve been working as a digital artist since 2012 as a freelancer. From 2020 I have found myself being creative in the music industry and working with artists like Bella Poarch, nublu, Wateva and Lexsoul Dancemachine as sound has always had an impactful role in my artworks.

Along with sound, my artwork has been inspired from fashion designers, architects, fine arts, theatre to straight up techno-wizards and electro-punks. I adore keeping an eye out what other artists are bringing into this world and sharing the language of art, which makes me desire to express my own artistic perspective more fully and personally. Along with digital art, I am also doing photography, video art and occasionally live performances.


My career started off doing commission jobs but also by giving small lessons to pre-school students about traditional and digital art mediums which eventually lead me to the road of lecturing in universities. Since 2020 I have been a guest lecturer in the Estonian Academy of Arts teaching digital art and Adobe Photoshop.

I have a bachelor’s degree (cum laude) in scenography. I studied under Ene-Liis Semper at Estonian Academy of Arts, where I have further developed knowledge of deconstruction and storytelling through visual arts.
