Yu Sol

Yu Sol is a Los Angeles–based artist of Korean and Ukrainian origin. Having lived in Kazakhstan, Spain, and Portugal, her work is shaped by movement, contrast, and emotional experience.

Formally trained at the Kazakh National University, she works across oil, watercolor, and acrylic, approaching painting as both a technical and intuitive process.

Her practice focuses on abstraction, emotion, and tension. Rather than aiming for perfection, Yu Sol is interested in honesty — leaving traces, imperfections, and raw elements visible as part of the work.

Her paintings are not about narrative or decoration. They are about creating a feeling — something direct, personal, and sometimes unsettling.

Art is not meant to be perfect. It is meant to make you feel.
