Yuliya is a contemporary artist living in Berkshire UK
Yuliya left a 15-year legal career over a decade ago and is now represented by several galleries in South West of London, Tampa (Florida), and a nomadic gallery based in Lech, Austria.
Over the years, Yuliya has developed several collections of celestial semi-abstracts, exploring traditional media across a variety of surfaces.
Today, her distinctive visual language is recognised for its ethereal symbolism and is increasingly sought after for hospitality projects worldwide. Her work can be found in leading UK law firms, fine dining venues, healthcare settings, and aboard cruise liners.
Themes of uncertain trajectory (Migration and House of Eden), the nostalgia of fast-lived grace (La Femme Nuage and Blossom), and the search for sanctuary (Blue Bay and Connected) underpin much of her work. Through these dreamlike narratives, Yuliya reflects on how we navigate an ever-changing, information-saturated world, inviting moments of pause and presence.
The Artist behind
the surface
Born in Soviet Kazakhstan to a family of civil engineers, Yuliya shone as a talented young artist from an early age. Yet amid the uncertainty of a nation in transition, she was steered towards legal studies. Following a corporate career in London after relocating to the UK in 2005, she made the decisive return to her creative roots, becoming a full-time artist in 2015.
Yuliya's starting point was experimenting on large paper and canvas with watercolors and heavily diluted oils, with a strong focus on rhythmic patterns. Over time, she has developed an unmistakable visual language, pairing a rough and tender approach with a focus on interplay of traditional media on various surfaces and scales.
Her work has been named as best display with Rivers & Rowing Museum of Henley-upon-Thames in 2025, acquired by Crown Estate and displayed in landmark London buildings in 2026, world-leading law firms for UK offices, Dubai prestigious developments with art curation (H&H Development), featured in filming (Doctor Strange, Marvel, Scandal, ABC, Wild Cherry, BBC), landmark hospitality, cruise liners and health facilities in the US and Mediterranean, held in private and corporate collections worldwide.
