Yulia Rytikova

I was born on November 2, 1988, and grew up in a small resort town in the south of Russia. Currently I live and work in Moscow, Russia.

I have been drawing as long as I can remember. In my creative path, I tried different techniques, but I found myself in mixed techniques, working with textures and volumes. Acrylic and mixed textures help me express emotions and feelings that are close to all people. My works are an imprint of the human soul on canvas.
I have many inspirers and idols: Picasso, Dali, Frida Kahlo, Rothko, Pollock, Van Gogh, Russian avant-garde artists. But the source of my work is human feelings and emotions, mood, affects and experiences, in their diversity. It will be fair to say that my work is each of us.

Self-educated. I studied at the workshops of Veronika Kalacheva, Igor Sakharov, Anastasia Filimonova and other Russian artists.
Now I am studying at the school of abstract art at the Union of Abstract Artists of Russia. My teacher is russian artist Sergey Kupriyanov
