Moonwalk (2022) Painting by Julia Kirilov

On my journey of self discovery I developed a special interest in painting. Five years ago, I started actively working with my shadow, assimilating various aspects of myself, life and death, darkness and light. I specifically like using deeply bright colours to accentuate my soul's connection, expressing what is not able to be said or communicated on the canvas. I love to be creative and draw since I was little, even though i sometimes undergo episodes of slight manual and motoricial restriction, concerning my hands. Painting has been a great way to explore my passion and work with my sensual complexes. I'm an intuitive healer, very inspired by nature's aura and mysthical spaces. My heart lights up witnessing peaks of nostalgia and I like playing hide and seek with the energies surrounding me. I love to listen, magnifying the wholesome experiences and changes of season, loosing my mind and embracing the unique infinitity of life in all it's forms and appearances. The paintings often reflect on my mood in contrast to every day life and I do stimming while creating them, using my heightened sensory perception. Some of my art holds up a mirror to society, deal with issues of generational trauma, stalking, rape, emancipation, friendship or a completely different world entirely. I use aquarell colour and express the flow of life on various canvas shapes. I leave parts of my spirit becoming one with the work. My art is influenced by all that is innocent, seraphic, divinely feminine and masculine as well as tragic, frail or depressing. I want to inspire others to reach beyond the demands of the oppressive cultivated box. There is a chance of connection in every single frame, giving into the wild forbidden aspects of existance - becoming real. I desire to touch people with my art, soothe their hurt and make space for the reincarnation and transformation of self. I produce mostly high frequency paintings, riddled with hints. I'm very devoted to my work for it has guided me through my most darkest times. In addition my art questions, deals with shame, the conflicts of joy within existential crisis, doubt and loneliness. I receive messages from the subconscious, channeling them into my paintings. I'm proud of my individual development and encourage you to reflect and use your discernment as not everything might resonate. Many unique stories are being told, confidentally webbed into the soft fabric of my canvas. My art is imperfect and so am I! Challenging the narrative to becoming the narrator yourself, owning your exposé. I navigate life as a survivor of ritual abuse and like to share important pieces as well as little sneak peaks of my artwork, giving something deep from within myself for you to exhibit and enjoy...
