My world has been torn apart. Now there is water everywhere, but everyone has forgotten how it used to be.
I dived into the ocean of my memories to find the Forest of a thousand doors. There grew my favorite tree. I used to climb on it as a child and listen to the stories of the old octopus. The forest is no longer there, all the trees are swimming separately.
I grew a jellyfish, now I swim fast and very beautiful. Sorry no one can see.
My jellyfish collected a few stars to make the keys out of their dust. They ring melodiously when I move. Familiar melody.
At last I found a tree. The old octopus smiled wearily.
«How good is it that you caught the moon. Have you kept the secret of the tiny door?»
I found a keyhole. A suitable key volunteered to open the door and swam to it. I pressed my ear to my familiar skin and listened to the stars chirping inside. I remembered listening to their sonatas on warm summer nights. They smelled like raspberries.
I put my hand deeper and felt an old friend hold my hand. I was covered in a wave of peace. The sunlight pierced everything.

Julia Kuzina, a contemporary Russian painter, delves into the realms of pop surrealism to bring forth a series of paintings that evoke a disquieting sense of anticipation for destruction and the emergence of a post-apocalyptic world. Despite this foreboding theme, her artworks elicit conflicting emotions of both peace and anxiety. Within each creation, Kuzina skillfully combines elements of pain and love, ugliness and beauty, resulting in compositions that stir a range of contradictory emotions.

Working in the style of imaginary realism and employing oil on canvas, Julia Kuzina is a participant in numerous exhibitions both in Russia and abroad. She holds membership in the Creative Union of Artists of Decorative and Applied Arts and the Artists Trade Union of Russia.

Her art transcends borders, finding a place in private collections across the globe, including the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Taiwan, Australia, and Russia. Julia's paintings serve as visual narratives, telling stories that embody the world of emotions through surreal images. Themes revolving around the intricate relationship between humanity and nature unfold within the captivating canvases she creates.
