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”.

"Synthetic Flesh No.1", (2025)
Painting by Yuliia Holub
15 x 21 cm • Watercolor, Watercolor and paper, Watercolor pencils, Watercolor on paper
This work explores the tension between surface and depth in the age of hyperreality.
We live in a world where reality is still felt, but no longer recognized — replaced by its polished imitation.
Perfect images displace real experience; decorative anxiety, aesthetic tension, and visual distortion are easily mistaken for depth.
This series uses familiar elements — cold flesh, red water, synthetic skin — not to represent them, but to question our trust in visual symbols.
The form triggers the expectation of meaning, but this time, there’s nothing underneath.
