Julia Naurzalijeva

I am an Ottawa based artist with a background in theater costume design.Last decades i have created numerous paintings, murals and illustrations...In my outline or highly detailed illustrations I use vivid narrative and illuminating imagery to merge the aesthetics of different stories and cultures. I have extensive experience in designing characters and fantastic creatures with use of distant styles, techniques and cultural codes. My drawing skills allow me visualize different ideas in various styles, moving from concept to completion. My paintings are always have multi-layered levels of meaning. I like to add some hidden ironical sequences and play with imitations of styles.Art for me is a deep and curved mirror of time and everyday reality.
