Yulia Bas

Yulia Bas, born in Moscow in 1986, embarked on an artistic journey from a young age. Initially trained in old Russian academicism, she later pursued a degree in interior design and architecture. After a successful career in yacht design, Yulia returned to her passion for art, honing her unique style through workshops and study programs. Her works now grace collections worldwide, while she continues to collaborate with renowned international galleries.

 

Total fragmentation is Yulia Bas’s signature style and above all a paradigmatic principle, an existential impulse of her artistic practice. The artist explores how, in the conditions of today’s state of perpetual flux and splitting of information, we are forced to update and reform attempts to gain subjective integrity of identity. 

 

However, the fragmentation of being in Bas’ oeuvre lets go of its negative connotation and becomes a poetic and pensive reflection on a possibility for new consolidation and fundamental openness to regrowth. The canvas assumes a continuous formation, renewal and constant reassembly. To start this process, it is necessary to interrupt the automatism of disjunctive-conjunctive synthesis. In order to achieve this, Yulia Bas breaks the machinery of the portrait, restarts it and allows the image of a person to oscillate, to remain in form, and in a state of transition.
