As a third-generation Korean who grew up in the heart of Central Asia, Yulia seeks to blend her multicultural experiences, weaving together colors and shapes into works that would encourage viewers to pause and reflect not only on their own cultural stories but also on the endless diversity of our world. Yulia always had a passion for art, but has been focusing on drawing and painting for more than 10 years now. Currently, she is most excited about expressing herself through oil paint to capture the beauty of her surroundings. | Art Crit Night supports and strengthens the work of every artist that participates, and promotes critical dialogue among the community members that attend. All participants must be open to the critique process. The process will include presenting your work, receiving feedback from the curator framed in a spirit of positivity and desire to help you progress in your practice, and receiving comments from the audience as these events will be open to the art community in an effort to increase critical dialogue. |
