Yulia Brodskaya Painter Russia 1983
Yulia Brodskaya is a renowned artist and Painter, illustrator born in Moscow in 1983, world-famous for revolutionizing paper quilling with an innovative method she calls "painting with paper." After moving to the UK in 2004, where she studied at the University of Hertfordshire, Brodskaya transformed a traditional craft technique into a contemporary fine art form with impressive three-dimensional volume and relief.
Her innovative working method
Unlike traditional quilling, which typically uses thin, lightweight strips to create flat decorations, Brodskaya uses heavyweight cardstock and paper. Her process involves precisely cutting, folding, curving, and fitting densely packed colored strips, placing them on their edges. This allows her to use the paper not as a support, but as the pigment of the artwork itself, achieving chromatic blends and textures that mimic oil or acrylic brushstrokes.
Categories of her work
The portfolio displayed on her official website, Artyulia Portfolio, is divided into three main categories:
Typography (TypoGraphic): This was the origin of her success in 2008. She creates three-dimensional letters and texts where words come to life through sinuous curves and integrated botanical motifs.
Illustration (PaperGraphic): Commercial projects and commissioned works focused on highly dynamic compositions filled with flowers, animals, and elements of nature.
Fine Art: Her most mature facet, focused on large-scale, expressive portraits. Through the accumulation of compact folds, she uniquely captures character, light, aging, and human emotions.
