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”.

EXUVIAE: Gemini
Sculpture by Yuliia Holub
30 x 30 cm • Lacquer, Chrome, Polysterene, Putty
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
(Latin: «twins» — reflects both the physical doubling of the objects and the psycho- symbolic mirroring at the core of the series)
Sculpture, 30 × 30 × 25 cm each polystyrene, base and finish putty, lacquer, chrome
These sculptures complete the series as a summarizing gesture — an embodiment of its core desire. They are the only paired objects: formally similar, subtly different, and inseparable in function. Together, they symbolize the impossibility of completeness and the longing for psychic wholeness.
They are fetish-objects in the Lacanian sense — not instruments, but condensations of a lack. Smooth and sealed, ambiguous in their function, they seem to yearn for unity not through purpose, but through presence. These bodies are not vessels, not shells, not beings.
