The Burdock (2023) Painting by Julia Naurzalijeva

Julia started drawing at a young age. She was an artist at the preschool before she could read. By the time he was a teenager, her grandmother brought her into her studio where they draw together with her grandmother friends and inspired Julia's love of rural landscapes, sense of romance, and artistic traditions. 

With family friend Boris Otarov guidance, she mastered figure study and gouache, and later learned egg tempera from Eugenia Kameneva. Julia studied art history from her grandfather Mark Gubergrits, admiring many masters of  Middle Ages,Renaissance and French, Spanish and Italian painting.
