Meet Julia Shcherbakova

Julia Shcherbakova, a self-taught female artist based in Melbourne.

Her unique style can be described as a beautiful blend of semi-realism and semi-impressionism. However, what truly drives her passion for painting is her inclination towards expressionism. Julia strives to capture the essence of melancholy and the beauty of fleeting moments in her artwork.

To achieve this, she more often than not opts for faded and dimmed colors, allowing her paintings to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Julia's ultimate goal is to convey a short story within each piece, while also leaving room for the viewer's imagination to wander. She deliberately embraces imperfection and incompleteness in her art paintings, creating a space for dreams and escapism to thrive.

Through her creative exploration, Julia delves into forgotten emotions and passions, connecting deeply with scenes and images that resonate from the past. Her art serves as a vessel to escape from reality and rediscover the long-lost innocence of the unknown. This is what defines her art message amongst other Australian female artists.

In terms of aesthetics, her artwork can possess elements of naive art and minimalism, adding an extra layer of simplicity and purity. Julia's favourites are Australian landscape, figurative representations of people, coastal wall art and seascape, and botanical art. Each painting is a portal into a world that captures the essence of emotions, nature, and the human experience.
