About the Artist

The sculpture Blue Laughter from the Yoomoota art universe embodies human joy. Charming and charismatic, he possesses a remarkable sense of humor. He loves to laugh and hug, with his distinctive features including a blue color and smiles all over his body. His telepathic characteristics enable him to transmit good moods to others. According to the Yoomoota universe legend, he hails from the Planet of Emotions, which is divided into bands, each representing an emotion and affecting people differently: red — alleviating phobias, yellow — absence of hysteria and panic, green — increasing strength, blue — the desire to smile. The blue zones predominantly feature objects capable of causing a smile or laughter in a person.

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.
