MAGNOLIA Painting

Yulia’s work is often characterised by gestural brush strokes, mark making and the impression of spontaneity. Using alternative techniques like blowing, dripping, bleaching she allows her paint to create unexpected forms and focuses on the dominant vibrant colours. Her multi-layered paintings involve figurative forms along with a variety of abstract language. They evoke a meditational, emotional response and a feeling of liberty in the viewers, allowing one physically to experience the painting by wondering over pigment changing canvases. Often large in scale, her works are intense in colour, rich in texture, impulsive and deeply expressive. There’s a great sense of movement and rhythm in Yulia’s work, particularly in her recent collection of dynamic splashy images.
