Yulia Sukhanova is a Russian-born, London-based artist. She has received a formal training at a private art studio in Moscow, but her young family and work commitments meant that she had a long break before picking up her brushes again. During COVID she felt the need to reevaluate her professional priorities and decided to continue her art education by first attending short courses, and then completing her Foundation Diploma course at Putney School of Art and Design, and later continuing at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art, where she is still regularly participates in classes, workshops and open studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yulia’s visual vocabulary is figurative, though with frequent use of abstract elements, and she works in oils, acrylics, soft pastels and mixed media. This interdisciplinary approach allows her to investigate tensions and harmonies between media – how materials react, resist and converse with one another. She explores qualities of paint as an expression of luminality. She is drawn to light and colour and their transitional nature. Her process involves layering, removing paint and repainting which create layers of paint akin to the process of daily experiences turning into memories. Not quite a snapshot, but rather a contemporary impression of a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yulia exhibits regularly in UK and abroad and her works are now in private collections in Europe, UK and Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
