Julia Rockina

I was born in 1989 in Leningrad, USSR.

After receiving BA and MA degrees from the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design I co-founded the "GRG Design Studio" with Vera Golubeva, where we focus on innovative collection design.

In my projects, I combine classical glass processing techniques with modern sculpture and graphic art. I am drawn to timeless minimalist design, which is evident in my creative work, including jewelry and functional objects.

I follow my intuition and aesthetic preferences, influenced by my classical education. My favorite technique is multi-layered glass milling, which allows me to achieve depth of color and a balance between form and content.

My work explores the relationship between humanity and nature, the urban environment, and modern society. I am particularly interested in how people connect with their inner selves and their true nature.

My life is currently split between Tbilisi, Bali, and Saint Petersburg. These cities have become key places on my personal map with Saint Petersburg still being there as it's my homeland and where my parents live
