Oversized watercolour on 100% cotton 300 gsm (thick) paper

The subject of the Connected series is the issue of social displacement in fast paced urban environment. Its positive and negative impact on an individual. When people are leaving small towns in favour of mega cities, they inevitably join the chase. Whether their race is, fashion, money, fame, power or wealth each one's after, the price is ultimately parting with your own identity in order to fit into the system and follow the crowd. 

Depending on their vice, they form smaller flocks growing ties and amassing new followers. 
The world of "connected " is also an image of our immersion into the lives dominated by the electronic connections, ephemeral, fragile in nature; those that available on demand.

On the positive side, the artist draws parallels between the paper plane as manmade creation, perfectly shaped to fly with little support, and modern young person. Admiring courage, determination despite at times obvious immaturity and lack of responsibility often criticised as purposeless existence  much like the existence of a paper plane.

Born in 1980 in Kazakhstan, Yuliya’s path from a classical arts education to a career in law, and finally, a full-time artist, reads like a journey of rediscovery. After moving to the UK two decades ago, she spent 15 years in the corporate world, working internationally, before trading the office for the easel and unleashing a style now celebrated for its dreamlike, ethereal quality. Her distinct touch - an elegant, almost effortless flow-- soon captivated art curators and collectors alike, landing her work in some of London’s well connected galleries and collaborations with designers, luxury institutions, and hospitality projects. Yuliya’s art has appeared on major film sets, including Doctor Strange (2016), Scandal (2017), and will soon feature in a BBC drama (2025). Her work graced exclusive London clubs and high end dining venues, international luxury hotels (like The Breakers and Aviara Hyatt), private collections worldwide, and most recently, a striking display at Huntsman (11 Saville Raw), London for Mayfair Art week in Jul 2024. In her skyscapes, Yuliya captures a luminous tension between fragility and strength; in her dreamy sailboat series, a sense of isolation and wonder. Her Connected works on paper explore urban rhythm, while her Blossom series meditates on nature’s cyclical grace. Each piece invites viewers into a world between worlds, a weightless realm where nostalgia drifts and emotions resonate softly, like memories you can almost touch. watch the studio process, art shows and behind the scenes on instagram: her life, home, garden, daughter and occasionally a hiding hubby
