One day I was walking through the well-known store in Moscow, where the world’s best and the most famous brands of clothing and accessories are represented. My attention was drawn to an incredible, bright fur coat in the style of patchwork. That is a type of textile mosaic where the different pieces of material, scraps, really are sewn according to the mosaic principle. That was the fur coat from Yves Salomon collection and it’s become an attribute of inspiration for me. Fur coat as a symbol of luxury life. Colored pieces of fur collected in a piece of clothing by hand, by the hands of a couturier-have a special value and price. Each element of the textile mosaic has its own history, which hides a whole world of human destinies. On canvas, the fur coat has acquired the characteristic silhouette of iconography, which does not seem to fit with the items of clothing at all. Icon, as a symbol of purity and holiness, contrasts with an item of luxury clothing. The golden apple in the hand, as the symbol of temptation, as the fruit of thirst to knowledge, is beyond of reach. The concepts of spiritual and material are intertwined. They imperceptibly merge and displace each other in their obvious disbalance.

Yulia Belasla was born in 1987 in the city of Barnaul, Altaiskiy Kray, Russia. When she was still a baby her parents moved to the city of Kemerovo, in Siberia, where she had grown up. Since 2017 she has been living in Moscow, Russia. Since her childhood, Yulia was attracted to painting. Private lessons, various courses, and art school only warmed up her interest. Finally, Yulia Belasla has graduated from the Kemerovo State University of Culture and Arts, as a graphic designer. She had studied there both classical painting and drawing, as well as the form’s stylization. 2013-2017 she had a frame shop where she worked as a decorative artist in Kemerovo, offered picture frames and a passionate taught of adults and children to painting. In 2017 she closed her a frame shop. Today, her time is entirely dedicated to producing art and she gives art master classes. Artist’s Statement In my practice, I work with painting, exploring themes: love, human relationships, Slavic traditions and information technology. I work in traditional media, using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and golden potali. The inner volume of the paintings is achieved only on the contrast of cold and warm color palettes. Otherwise, I avoid feeling the depth of space, turning the composition to ornamental correspondence or icon painting practice.The symbolic structure of the structure of objects and characters and the addition of decorative elements to the space: a reference to ancient cultural codes and sign systems. The two main genres of my works are subject painting and portraits. I combine mythology, legends and assemble them into an anthropomorphic image. It is read through signs sewn into the perceptions of each person.In my opinion, emotions are the brightest color of the universe, a universal language understandable to everyone. I've always been interested in how people are emotionally connected to each other. The interaction of these connections forms my approach to developing themes within paintings.
