About the Artist

Candy Lady is a canonical character, alluding to sugar addiction, which brings joy in moments of despair as well as happiness. She lives on the Planet of Addictions in the Yoomoota art universe, ruling it as her own kingdom of sins. Here, she is both an entirely innocent and a commanding being, embodying the sugar addiction we face daily and often fail to acknowledge.

Taras Yoom (born as Taras Zheltyshev) is a multidisciplinary artist and the creator of Yoomoota, a Universe at the intersection of art and design. Yoomoota features a diverse array of planets, inhabitants, and more, all reflecting aspects of human experience. Taras originally pursued a career in medicine before transitioning to art, using his background in biology and nature to enrich the vibrant world of Yoomoota.

The Yoomoota Art Universe encompasses collectible sculptures, biomorphic furniture, paintings, and mixed media pieces. Drawing on his fascination with medical and scientific studies, Taras infuses his art with a profound understanding of biology and nature. His Bangkok-based workshop serves as an experimental space where various techniques and genres come together to explore physical phenomena and socially relevant themes.

Taras Yoom's unique technique brings fantastical images to life, creating art that holds a distinguished place in any collection. Each character within the Yoomoota Art Universe is imbued with its own legend and ideology, making his work not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful.

Renowned for his talent, Taras Yoom has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Good Design Awards, IDA, AD Design Award, and Elle Decoration. His works have been showcased at major exhibitions such as Collectible, Milan Design Week, and Beijing Design Week. Additionally, his creations have been highlighted in esteemed publications like Vogue, Elle Decoration, AD, Interior+Design, Tatler, Interiors The Best, and Forbes.
