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”.

"UR_PRESSENCE", 2025
Painting by Yuliia Holub
16 x 22.5 cm • Watercolor, Watercolor and paper, Watercolour, Watercolor pencils, Watercolor on paper
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
"Ur-Presence" - "The threat through the mere fact of existence" - is when a person (or body, or image) does not need to do anything to provoke aggression or fear. Their very existence is already perceived as a challenge, as a danger to the system, the norm, or control.
This is characteristic of fascist or authoritarian structures. They feel threatened not even by resistance, but by the mere presence of something different.
