about

Yulia Pustoshkina is a third-generation artist who was born in Karelia, Russia and immigrated to Australia in 2001. Growing up in a family of various creatives who were constantly engaged in artistic activities had a profound impact on shaping her lifestyle. Yulia's father, who was also her art teacher at the local Art School in Petrozavodsk, was the one who truly inspired her in the arts. Under his guidance, she honed her skills in drawing, painting, composition, and the art of allowing the imagination to flow freely.

Currently based in Sydney, Australia, Yulia's artistic style is naturally influenced by her European background. Her current painting technique is a result of extensive practice in working with miniature paintings, which are common in folklore depictions. She has managed to carry out high detalization of imagery onto large canvases as well, and has come up with her own title for her artistic style, Folkloric Surrealism. The artist's anthropomorphic characters exhibit facial expressions, and the viewer can pick up on the mood of the painting. The compositions add to the story that unfolds. The artist prefers that the viewer decides for themselves the interpretation of each artwork. Most often, her characters are on the go somewhere, which probably explains her own love for travel, where she picks up new inspirations for her work. Her main objective is for her paintings to bring joy and promote kindness and acceptance of all living creatures.
