About the Work
About the Artist

Pillman is an iconic character that explores the delicate balance between healing and dependency. Crafted from plastic in the form of pills and meticulously hand-painted with acrylics, his body is composed of antibiotics, vitamins, and other pharmaceuticals. The sculpture reflects human vulnerability and our increasing reliance on instant relief. It serves as a reminder that true transformation begins within — through awareness, self-education, and inner work. Exhibitions: Cosmoscow 2024 (Moscow); Frédérick Mouraux Gallery 2024 (Antwerp); Solo Show, Icon Siam 2023 (Bangkok)

Taras Zheltyshev (Taras Yoom) is an international multidisciplinary artist and designer, the creator of the Yoomoota art universe, and a participant in major exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His approach to collectible design merges the organic and the artificial, exploring the human condition and its relationship with the world through his signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining original techniques and symbolic thinking, Zheltyshev constructs a fantastical universe where functional objects become tools for investigating all dimensions of human experience — from physiology to emotional states and the perception of reality.

Beginning his creative journey in the field of object and collectible design, he has received international acclaim and numerous professional honors, including the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and recognition from Elle Decoration. He has also developed a parallel body of work in painting and sculpture. His design techniques include custom modeling, metalwork and woodworking, casting and forming, 3D printing, laser cutting, mixed materials, and hand-finishing using textiles, acrylics, and polymers.

Today, Yoomoota objects are part of private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Brussels, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Financial Times, Forbes, Elle Decoration, Designboom, and other leading publications.
