In The Global landscape each country has its own image. But what would they look like if they were people? This is the question that Russian artist Anastasua Bulgakova tries to answer with her art. She stated that she draws personifications of different countries. She went on to write: “All of them will be militant and warrior-like, with dirt and blood. Not because of some political persuasion, but simply because that what I always draw in any case, and the idea of warrior-countries gives a lot of creative freedom.”

Each of her characters has stereotypical attributes representative for the county itself. From the idealistic American to the quiet Japanese guy, here are her personifications. We found them amazingly artistic while also accurate and true.  You can also read the artist’s explanation of each of the artwork. So, which did you like best?

1. United States Of America

[maxbutton id=”2″ url=”https://www.artstation.com/artwork/W8PzX”]

A bit naive and idealistic, but quite vicious on the inside. Very attractive and charismatic, easily turns others to her side. Pursues her goals with no regard to morals or consequence. Her main goal is to survive- and do it with maximum comfort. She wears leather armor, since she prefers extremely long range battles with her two sniper rifles. Cybernetic arms and legs give her extreme speed in combat. She is a killer. And she likes fire. Especially it’s smell in the morning. Smells like victory. – Anastasia Bulgakova

 

2. Canada

[maxbutton id=”2″ url=”https://www.artstation.com/artwork/EnvZ0″]

Canada is simple guy with puppy eyes. He is kind and not conflicting. Prefers to be at home and not look for any problems in others’ battles. He only fights in sports- hockey. He finds it honest and cheerful. Because of his success in hockey, he’s called “The King of ice”. Sometimes a crown appears over his head and he often dreams about future victories. Wants to believe that USA is his best friend and they are equal. USA does not see a threat in him and allows itself a cautious friendship. Of course with benefits. He usually fights Russia in hockey, and USA is also his opponent on the icy field. But he’s still friendly with everyone. Until he hears Britain’s call, that is. Canada usually wears a track suit. His weapons are a metal hockey stick and skates. Good guy. – Anastasia Bulgakova

 

3. Japan

[maxbutton id=”2″ url=”12345″]

This time it’s Japan, of course, and he is a man. I took some liberty in my decision since there were not too many comments. So next time, be a bit more active to get what you want ; ) Japan is a silent guy, with a suspicious smile. Likes technologies and perversions. Has some strange relationships with other countries, especially the neighbours. Ah, that sweet-sweet China… No one ever truly knows his real motives and desires (or how many “true” superforms he has), and he never answers anyway. But one thing is certain- even if he kills you, he will be extremely polite about it. Even though he likes technology, he has a real body, and the hi-tech armor is mere augmentation to his abilities and skills. He can be classified as a close-quarters fighter, but prefers speed and agility over heavy armor. He uses a spear and a tail (or tentacle?) to hold his opponents at some distance (but really, I am just sick of seeing katanas everywhere). For long range, he uses exploding spheres. – Anastasia Bulgakova

 

4. France

[maxbutton id=”2″ url=” https://www.artstation.com/artwork/kmvd2″]

An alternate reality France. Here the monarchy has won, and the revolution failed. He is an ancient country now, more that 1500 years old. An aristocrat and a vampire. Blood and wine is totally his style, and art, of course. The monarch’s reign is supreme, and the vampire nobility is stronger than ever. He absolutely hates revolutions, uprisings, equality and “power of the people”. Believes that democracy is just a big lie, that other countries use to fool their citizens and make them more obedient. He prefers the old-fashioned way, and there will be no “freedom and equality” under his rule, until people will grow enough to deserve it. First, they need to understand how low they have fallen, and how destructive it would be to give them any power in their current state. And when that happens, well, we shall see… This is his great compassion, as an old and wizened ruler. – Anastasia Bulgakova
