Yuliia Holub
Artist from Ukraine
Yuliia was born in 2002 in Volnovaha, eastern Ukraine. She now lives in Kyiv. She studied at the M.Boychuk State Academy of Fine Arts and Design and NAOMA.
Yuliia works in the direction of modern conceptual art, creating a synthesis between abstract and surrealist art. By her own account, she aims to purify creativity from unnecessary signs and images, so that it can become a mirror for the viewer's inner world.
Her works have a philosophical and esoteric subtext, but are based solely on the game of subjectivity.
“I was born in a city that was occupied by Russia on March 5, 2022, I experienced many tests that significantly influenced my art. My works are an attempt to explore complex emotions: loss, fighting trauma and searching for lost harmony. The surreal world is my shelter. A journey between consciousness and the subconscious. A world of passion, illusions, dreams and secrets. Wild imagination finds peace on canvas and paints, carving out the eternal conflict of light and dark”.

Memory 1
Painting by Yuliia Holub
16 x 12 cm • Colored pencils, Vintage envelope
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
This unique artwork is created on a vintage Finnish postal envelope, featuring a surreal shell-like form. It symbolizes the period of my life when I was a refugee in Finland and serves as a metaphor for the beginning of profound inner transformations. This piece not only marks a part of my creative journey but also represents an important stage of personal growth, reflecting the search for new horizons and spiritual rebirth in a new country. The envelope, as the material for this artwork, adds a special significance: a connection to a new culture while preserving my own identity.
