Julia Mira

Hi, I'm Julia, a Russian artist born in Estonia, living and working in The Netherlands. My artworks vary from small watercolor and ink images on paper to larger acrylic paintings on canvas.

Coming from the DJ scene and having a rave background from the early 2000s, I'm inspired by subcultures and their alternative ways of approaching life. In my practice, life is explored as something full of desire, vulnerability, and euphoria. I attempt to capture the poetry of such instant emotional experiences in each work I make
