Yuliia Poliakova

is a contemporary Ukrainian artist based in Kyiv. A graphic designer by education, she started painting in 2009. For the next 6 years, she continued working as a graphic designer and, in 2015, renewed her artistic practice by fusing painting with photography and digital collage, which became her signature style. Her works explore eroticism and the human body with a captivating surrealist essence.

I am a graphic designer by education, and after working in this field for several years, I decided to try my hand at art. The idea of combining painting, photography, and computer graphics immediately came to mind. While the concept itself may not be new, the uniqueness lies in the stories that originate in my mind. I am drawn to surrealism and fantasy, creating things that cannot exist in reality. My fantastical narratives are filled with encrypted signs and symbols. Some are intended from the start, some appear during the process, and sometimes I only realize their presence once the work is complete.
