Julia Chemerys

Yulia Chemeris (born 1971, Ukraine) is an artist currently living in Kyiv, where her studio overlooks the Dnipro River, though the view is sometimes obscured by Russian missiles. Chemeris notes that her artistic perspective is constantly evolving under the influence of this new reality. Sometimes, the more horrifying reality becomes, the stronger the desire to create something beautiful. Other times, there is a need to tell the world about the grim fractures of reality. The artistic language of her works is diverse, with the form of expression serving the meaning, inner philosophy, and narrative of the painting. However, she is most captivated by the synergy of abstract forms and color. As an art therapist, Chemeris aims to convey the profound emotional impact of color through simplicity. She believes that color carries more information than we can immediately perceive. The artist is in a constant search for a creative language to convey her ideas to the viewer, inviting them to explore their own inner world, thereby creating a shared emotional space with the audience.
