A contemporary independent artist working predominantly in figurative and portraiture.

Julia Ustinovich, born in the heart of Siberia in 1984, has embarked on a remarkable journey in the world of art. From her earliest memories, Julia's heart was set on becoming an artist. Her passion for the craft led her to excel at a young age, graduating with honors from a children's art school.

Despite a deep-rooted desire for formal artistic education, financial constraints made it a distant dream. Instead, Julia earned her diploma in psychology. Life took her on an unexpected path when, in 2016, she and her family immigrated to Poland, drawn by her Polish heritage. This period marked a profound transition, as she navigated the challenges of adapting to a new life with young children.

However, adversity often paves the way for resilience and rebirth. In 2018, Julia found the courage to reignite her artistic aspirations. Self-taught in the mediums of watercolor and oils, she discovered a profound connection to her inner artist. Over the following years, her dedication and talent earned her several accolades in international competitions, as well as opportunities to exhibit her work. Julia's remarkable journey led her to represent Poland in prestigious festivals and biennials. She also became a brand ambassador for Renesans, a renowned Polish manufacturer of art materials.

Julia's modern paintings are a testament to her unique vision. They are imbued with sensuality and fluidity, capturing the human form with unparalleled grace. Her art graces the walls of private collections across Europe and the United States, captivating art enthusiasts worldwide.

Beyond her personal creations, Julia has cultivated a global following, producing commissioned works for clients spanning the globe. Her ability to infuse her art with emotion and depth resonates deeply with those who seek her unique touch.

Julia currently resides in the vibrant city of Wroclaw, Poland, where she finds inspiration in the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds her. Her art is not only a testament to the beauty of others but also a mirror reflecting the beauty within herself.

In her own words, "When I'm painting, I feel something special, like weightlessness or a sweet dream. I treat my soul with sun glares, bright faces, shadows, and bends... Learning to love myself by painting the breathtaking beauty of others."

Julia's artistic journey is an inspiration, demonstrating that creativity and passion can overcome any obstacle, and her work is a celebration of the profound beauty that she finds in the world
