About the Artist

The sculpture Pure Love is a character in the Yoomoota universe embodying pure and true love, a dream of every human. The white character, covered with loving glances and kisses, embodies several important metaphors related to the main emotion in human life. Firstly, the white color, like love, is hard to break down into a comprehensible formula. It combines all colors and always appears in different shades. Secondly, Pure Love hugs itself and hints: "We can bring happiness to others only when we love ourselves." Thirdly, this character has telepathic abilities and bestows loving glances upon its patron, allowing a person to feel loved and significant.

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.
