Dolzhikova Yuliya

Biography

Yulia is a professional contemporary artist working in the genre of fairytale painting and fantastical realism.
She is a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia and the Union of Russian Artists.
Yulia is a regular participant in Russian and international art projects, exhibitions, and competitions.
Her works are held in private collections in Russia and abroad.

Welcome to Yulia’s world — quiet, warm, and subtly magical.

Her paintings do not escape reality; they look at it more attentively and more gently.
In this world, trolls grow tired, trees know how to listen, apples keep secrets, and ordinary everyday moments suddenly reveal hidden meaning and wonder. Yulia’s works resemble illustrations to the very fairytale we live in — even if we have long stopped believing in it.

The artist is deeply convinced that adults need fairytales no less than children.
They are simply too busy to notice.

Through her art, Yulia carefully returns to the viewer a sense of inner warmth, calm joy, and childlike sincerity — the kind that often hides beneath layers of responsibility, haste, and “important things.” Her paintings do not demand interpretation and do not impose narratives. They simply exist nearby.
Like a quiet reminder that there is still space in this world for kindness, playfulness, and light.

It is often said that Yulia’s paintings invite long, silent contemplation.
Perhaps that is the highest compliment her art can receive.
