Biography
Yulia is an Edinburgh-based artist whose work aims to explore human-nature relationships and investigate interconnectedness of things with insights from ecology and philosophy. She spent her childhood in Siberia, Russia, on the shores of Lake Baikal and in close proximity to the Taiga forest, where European influences interweave with Asian. It is a place on the crossroads of cultures, set between the wilderness of nature and the hustle and bustle of a city, and a natural source of inspiration for her subject. Through her work, Yulia is searching for ways to be present and connected with the world around, breaking through the human-made barriers that she believes often numb consciousness.
