About
Hello, my name is Julia. I am St. Petersburg based artist, designer and art addict :)
Art was a kind of miracle for me since I could remember myself, and artists were a magicians. When I was getting older and started to study art seriously, I realized that I can do a miracles myself. Though art still a wonder.
My works are inspired by music, fantasy and nature. I love to depict mythological creatures because they are not only personages of old stories for me, they are a symbols of human souls and that’s why they are eternal. I am also a huge fan of life drawing, it’s a ground for my fantasy and decorative works. And I love to make patterns, it’s a kind of meditation for me.
I work with traditional media mostly: pastel and acrylic painting, graphic sketches, paper collages, fiber art... And I love to make handmade books - hobby started from my obsession by sketchbooks.

“As memorable as Julie Khoroshikh’s mythological creations are, so too are the moods she promotes with her colour palette and textural illusions. The dimensionality she portraits through textures and layered colours mirrors that of mythological creatures that inhabit her work. An emergent strength is present in the characters she paints or draws into existence”
