Yulia Yakunina was born in 1984 in Russia. Lives and works in Siberia. "When I am happy - I paint. When I paint - I am happy. I love imperfections - so everything starts to look livelier, it becomes real. I see exactly these differences in people, in a heap of apples or nuts. I see the uniqueness of everyone. In my works, each fruit has its own story. They even look somewhat detached, despite the accuracy. Probably, I would like people not to strive to be like everyone else, not to experience inferiority complexes, but to understand that they are unique, and everyone grows at their own pace. And first of all, I want to cultivate these feelings in myself, painting helps me a lot in this. I finally understood this when I had children. My consciousness has changed, it became easier for me to accept myself and there was an urgent need for creative self-expression. My painting is controversial in many ways. Expressive on the one hand, quiet and comfortable on the other. "Apple tree" is a memory from childhood. Colored spots. I was born in a place where apple trees grow in whole gardens. But I lived the entire conscious part of my life in cold Siberia, home, to my grandmother, went on summer holidays, where I met with the warm sun, unknown nature and apple abundance. Trees and their fruits for me are a symbol of life, a starting point, a source of life. There is something divine about it. During meditations, I find myself near two apple trees from deep childhood, I begin to cry, it happens by itself. "At home". I want to tell you what the idea behind this artwork is and, in general, for several paintings with pillows. I wanted to convey a completely childish feeling of coziness, comfort, just from the fact that you are at home. When you are alone, or you just have the feeling that you are alone and no one interferes with ... the game. A game in your head. Toys could be any stuff, even apples. And I wanted to convey this feeling of a magical game with myself at home."
