She is interested in depicting places and natural phenomena that are only noticeable with the help of technology. Her personal and experimental artwork uses layered glass mosaic technique, where glass tiles are glued on top of each other. This technique is about infinity. Like a brush-stroke painting, there is no end to a number of the brush-strokes that can be applied to the work surface. The "Water", "Fire", and "Starscapes" series has been created in this technique. Yulia also has a passion for more earthly subjects such as flowers, landscapes, and close-ups of nature.
