About Yuliya Martynova
Born and raised in a small oily town on the shores of the Caspian Sea, a promising art school graduate age 15, Yuliya pursued more practical direction of a legal profession as the art career was deemed as a destination to nowhere in a post soviet era.
One law degree + MBA later, she joined the banking industry in Almaty then in 2005 moved to London where Yuliya spent further 10 years in energy and wealth management.
In 2015 Yuliya has lost her interest in the corporate world and took her chances as a full time artist.
Yuliya is a frequent participant of London art fairs, regular works with interior designers on luxury residential, cruise liners and hospitality projects and nurture plans to bring more work to the US in the upcoming years.

A r t i s t S t a t e m e n t:
This is to sum up the subjects that follow through and unite Yuliya's varied collections in seemingly different styles:
-Weight free existence & escapism
-Grace & elegance in a landscape
-Infantilism & ingenuity of human kind
-Loss of identity & change in life pace
-Time borrowing vs quality of time
***
Watercolour in particular has been Yuliya's long standing dominant media though her experimenting with water based materials and oil, graphite, acrylic on wood, canvas and paper has been growing strong.
Yuliya's work contemplates over the subject of departure.
Parting with somebody or something, cognitive state of loosing something valuable such as identity, innocence or childhood is seen as something positive as part of growing up, yet referenced with a nostalgic emotion.
In her seascape collection she focuses on escaping the city in search of identical Blue Bay shores. Real or surreal paradise of colour and calmness. Romantic and light run away from reality.
