ARTIST STATEMENT
Julia Shadrina lives and works in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Graduated as an interior designer Julia and her team for 20 years have been creating interiors which have received some prestigious awards - INTERIA AWARDS и ADD AWARDS. In her portfolio there are hundreds of interiors for comfortable life and work.
The love for fine art was instilled in her by the teachers of the art school in Ekaterinburg, and it has stayed with Yuliya for her whole artistic life. For the last 5 years she has developed herself as an artist attending workshops , copying paintings in Hermitage and having classes in a private art studio. All these allowed her to accumulate valuable experience , to expand her horizons and organize her first personal art exhibition in 2024.
She works in the genre of figurative art with abstract elements in the technique of oil on canvas and the plots are inspired by everyday life. Contemplating life Yuliya processes her impressions which give her a trigger for generalisation and for artistic image.
Currently Julia is working on a series of paintings inspired by the severe nature of the middle Ural. She metaphorically depicts Nature Elements and Objects of inanimate nature. The metaphors are rooted in the beliefs of the ancient tribes living on the territory of Ural and Perm many centuries ago. According to ancient customs people animated the objects of inanimate nature - rocks, water and wind, and attributed human features to them - character, will and outer image. They interacted with them like with living beings. The manner of this interaction is the subject of Julia’s research in her paintings.
