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 NAFAA.
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 Relictae: XVIII. Futura
Painting by Yuliia Holub
25 x 30 cm • Watercolour Paper, Watercolour Pencils, Watercolour
One of a kind
*(Lat. “the abandoned,” “the forsaken,” “relics”)*
Series of watercolors, 25 × 35 cm, paper, watercolor, watercolor pencils. Framed without passe-partout.
The gesture begins with eighteen shells carrying Latin titles: *Spina, Foramen, Umbra, Vortex, Fractus*, etc.
The shells exist as relics: remnants of bodily experience disconnected from the event itself. They do not reconstruct what occurred, nor do they lead back to it. Form remains, but cause disappears.
These are conditional portraits: images of what remains after presence.
The form offers no access to lived experience and proposes no emotional identification. These objects do not return the viewer to experience. They fix it as residue without access to its own origin.
*Note:* these works are in fact dedicated to the victims of Mariupol, but I consciously avoid offering heavy emotional experience as consumable content, instead forcing the viewer to endure an intellectual direction alongside me, on equal terms
