Polyptych "Untitled", Mixed Media Artwork

Julia Hadupyak is a contemporary Ukrainian artist based in Lviv, Ukraine. Since 2021, she has been studying at the Lviv National Academy of Arts, where she earned her Bachelor's degree and is currently pursuing a Master's degree (2024–2026). Her artistic practice spans painting, sculpture, and the creation of art objects, particularly within the framework of the glass studio movement. Julia specializes in an original painting technique through which she explores patterns of human behavior, cognitive dissonance, and the relationship between the inner world of the individual and external reality. The artist's works are a visual manifestation of personal emotions, observations, and research into both individual and collective psychological processes. In her sculptural practice, she often juxtaposes the fragility of glass with the rawness of concrete, stone, and metal, creating tension and contrasts between materials. Julia’s approach is rooted in continuous experimentation with form, texture, and technique, allowing her to discover new means of self-expression.
