Blue Bay | Mahe Painting

Yuliya is a multidisciplinary painter based in the lush countryside of Berkshire, UK. Originally from Kazakhstan, she has lived in the UK for the past 20 years. Trained in classical art from ages 10 to 16, Yuliya was on track to attend Moscow's top art school, but the collapse of the Soviet Union redirected her path, leading her to study law instead. She holds a Master’s in Law from Queen Mary University of London, a Graduate Diploma in Law from BPP Waterloo, and an MBA from KIMEP, before finally returning to painting full-time two decades later. Since 2015, Yuliya has gained recognition as an independent artist, exhibiting her work in London galleries and art fairs across the country. Her art has appeared in notable movie sets, including Marvel's Doctor Strange (2016) and ABC's Scandal (2017), and has been showcased in exclusive London members' clubs, stylish hotels, and luxury dining venues in both the UK and US. Interior designers frequently acquire her pieces for yachts, cruise liners, and international resorts, and her work is held in private collections worldwide. Yuliya's collections are characterized by an elegant flow and ethereal glow, exploring themes of fragility and strength in her skyscapes, the isolation of the sea in her dreamy sailboat series, urban dynamics in her Connected works on paper, and the cyclical nature of florals in her Blossom collection. Each piece invites viewers into a dreamy elemental realm, evoking a sense of light nostalgia with its weightless emotions. fall involve with me on instagram: @y_martynova_ where i show my life, my work, my beautiful house, daughter and occasionally a hiding hubby
