Sculpture #1 "Reminiscence" series Sculpture

Hi everyone. My name is Yulia Biktimirova and I am a ceramic sculptor from Moscow. My grandmother was an elementary school teacher and a very creative person, who drew, played the violin, knitted, sewed and modeled beautifully. She diligently imparted these skills to me. After elementary school, ceramic artists swiftly burst into my life as my mother began working at a ceramics factory that was part of the Folk Art Association, and my fate was sealed. In seven years I successfully graduated from art school, the private studio of the factory's chief artist and attended workshops almost daily to paint ceramics - preparing to enter the art academy. But the utilitarian production over the years began to repulse me with its monotony and compressed frameworks and Having received an academic education, I began to create articulated dolls from porcelain. Most of the dolls are in private collections in America and Canada. I am also a member of the International Association of Author Puppets since 2019 In the last year I have been searching more and more for new forms, materials, methods of decoration and have gone for an abstract form that does not have a direct message, but makes you look at the idea of the author - each viewer in his own way and think about it. I am inspired by biomorphic, complex forms, as well as modern architecture and new technologies.
