About the Artist

Yulia works in industrial architecture and industrial aesthetics, building her own collection of objects, each one a standalone architectural portrait. Her artistic practice is a diary of memories, moving from one industrial object to another and filling them with her psychoemotional experiences. Her works fuse a hard, razor-sharp, functional construction—devoid of superfluous elements—with memories of the season and the mood of a specific period. She aims to show that industrial architecture can be beautiful and to give viewers a chance to rethink their attitude toward the industrial landscape, seeing in it harmony and expressiveness.

Alternative phrasing (slightly different tone): Yulia operates at the crossroads of industrial architecture and industrial aesthetics, creating a body of objects, each an individual architectural portrait. Her practice functions like a diary of memories, traveling from one industrial site to another and infusing them with her psychoemotional experiences. Her works marry a rigid, incredibly precise functional form, stripped of extraneous elements, with memories of seasons and the mood of a particular era. She seeks to prove that industrial architecture can be beautiful and to invite viewers to reassess their relationship with the industrial landscape, discovering harmony and expressiveness within it.
