The full version of Yulia Mamontova’s CV (2020) is here.
Artist Julia Mamontova in her work combines the best traditions of the classical Russian school of painting, ancient painting techniques with conceptual presentation.
Sand she works in two directions: classical oil painting and decorative-applied art “encaustic” – an ancient method of painting with hot beeswax with pigments.
The study of the traditions and arts of different countries, the love of history and the continuous search for new images give the artist the opportunity to study life in all its forms and transfer this experience to others, reflecting it in her paintings. The ability to notice details and be open to the world allows the artist to transfer the most subtle nuances of the atmosphere to the canvas, therefore both abstract and realistic paintings by Yulia Mamontova fill the viewer with a sincere love of life. They also inspire to get acquainted with the origins and history. It is just one of the main themes of Yulia’s work – the revival of cultures and art from different eras, the popularization of forgotten knowledge.
