Beyond reality — where emotions shape
landscapes of time.

I capture emotions, time, and nature in abstract form. My paintings are fleeting moments frozen in color, where textures reveal the movement of time. Each artwork is a dialogue between reality and imagination, inviting you to explore new depths of perception.

Abstract Visionary |

Painter of Time and Emotion

About

Watercolor and abstract expression define my
artistic vision. I explore the fluidity of emotions,
capturing their movement and depth through color
and form. Over the years, I’ve developed a passion
for liquid art, where the flow of paint tells its own
story.


Art is a silent dialogue. In abstraction,
communication becomes effortless, allowing
emotions to resonate beyond words. If you’re
interested in meaningful collaborations,

THINGS

I LOVE

These artworks hold a special
place in my heart, reflecting the
themes that inspire me daily.


Emotions and Soul States... Human feelings, reflections of thoughts, experiences—these form an infinite
ocean for abstraction. I seek ways to express joy, sadness, hope, and doubt through colors and shapes.

Serendipity & Experimentation — Sometimes, the best ideas emerge from unexpected color
combinations or spontaneous movements. I embrace intuition and let creativity guide me.


Expressive Landscapes

A Dance of Light & Shadow

Behind the scenes of my artistic process. Watch as I bring my
abstract visions to life, experimenting with colors and techniques.


Nature and Its Secrets... Leaves, wind, clouds, reflections on water—these inspire me. Nature is a
true artist, and I strive to capture its magic in my works.

Nature & the Elements —

My Eternal Muse

Creativity is not just a choice — it’s my essence.
Every brushstroke is a reflection of my journey, my
emotions, and my artistic truth.


My abstract ideas draw inspiration from limitless realms
of imagination. Within them resonate notes of the
unexplored, like melodies just beginning to unfold. Here
are some sources that fuel my creative thought:

My respond to the question:


“What inspires your abstract ideas?”

My Artistic Philosophy



Music and Rhythm... Rhythmic melodies, sounds of
instruments, interplay of notes—all influence my palette
and brush movement. Music is my steadfast companion
in creativity.


Dreams and Subconscious... In dreams, we journey
through a world of fantasies and symbols. Sometimes,
my abstract pieces take on dream-like forms, where
reality and imagination intertwine.


Serendipity and Experimentation... Occasionally, the
best ideas emerge from accidental splatters on canvas or
unexpected color combinations. I embrace
experimentation and allow serendipity to guide me.


All of this forms the mosaic of my abstract universe.

And I hope it inspires others on their own creative
journeys.

Captivating Expressions

Yulia’s watercolor paintings evoke a sense of wonder and emotion. Her delicate brushwork captures the essence of nature, from serene landscapes to vibrant florals. Each piece tells a unique story, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.

Julissa Merelly

Whispers of the Soul

Acrylic is Yulia’s playground for expression. Her abstract works dance with energy and emotion. From bold geometric shapes to ethereal swirls, Yulia’s paintings resonate with the human experience — loud and vibrant, some times quiet and introspective.

Rimma Hughess

Layers of Emotion

Yulia’s multi-layered technique—combining water and oil without brush strokes—creates a sense of depth and mystery. Her canvases hold secrets waiting to be discovered, much like the layers of our own emotions.

Love it so much.
