Yuliya Martynova

Contemporary painter (full time since 2015) Yuliya known for her ethereal visual language playfully bringing traditional media through unusual layering experimenting on canvas, paper and panel.
Her work often carries the message of weightless existence, acceptance of aging and explores linear symbolism through familiar narrative of the elemental realm (water, air and earth).

As an unsettled artist, she develops several collections at a time. Some running for years, others completed withing a limited body of work. Each perfectly geared to tell the story within a certain size of surface. Yuliya brings the grace of watercolors experimenting on smaller finest canvas in Blue Bay series, blending acrylic and oil pastel lines in House of Eden while deploying sweeping brushstroke to create blossoming feather like clouds in La Femme Nuage series.

Her distinct touch - an elegant, almost effortless flow-- soon captivated art curators and collectors alike, landing her work in some of London’s well connected galleries and collaborations with designers, luxury institutions, and hospitality projects.

Yuliya’s art has appeared on major film sets, including Doctor Strange (2016), Scandal (2017), and BBC 6 part drama - Wild Cherry (2025)....
