The Moscow city landscape - one of the principal subjects in Yulya's creativity. She was born, grew up in this city and tirelessly writes a unique kaleidoscope of its streets, embankments, squares, yards for three decades. In its works of painting Moscow is very recognized. At the same time the artist is individual, independent in the images created by her, intonations and methods of transmission of thin Moscow charm, romanticism, elegance and beauty. It isn't simple to this magic city to survive. Some enigmatically he manages to save the unique face and expressiveness contrary to all influence of external brute forces, often thoughtlessly and ruthlessly breaking already developed historical image of the city. And Yulia is able to see his primordial ineradicable beauty disclosed and evaluated in youth. From mentors it perceived the method of the free picturesqueness converted to traditions of the Moscow school of the end of XIX – the first half of the 20th century, and, using it in the creativity, she feels as the absolutely free. She always writes only what the leisurely beauty touches her: most often it is streets and squares of their hometown - Moscow. And it is almost always those Moscow reserved places which not absolutely are still disfigured by a construction and destructive boom of the latest era, disproportionate to anything. Moscow the everyday and not striking, but warmed warm and touching the soul memories, it isn't tired to write again and again. First of all this city space seen a little on top with the streets leaving afar, trees, roofs of houses shrouded in a silvery and twilight haze through which mysteriously and manyashche evening lamps shine. And even it mainly withstands day Moscow in coldish and cool tones, and from there is an image of the city, a little melancholic, but to pain of darling.
