The study of the art traditions of different countries, the love of historical heritage and life in all its manifestations, the continuous search for new images distinguish Yulia Mamontova among modern authors. Yulia manages to combine classic, modern, and almost forgotten ancient techniques. She uses new forms, techniques and materials (mixmedia, layering, collage, sculpture, wax paints and hot tools), creating bright textured works on a variety of bases – from wood to metal. One of the main themes of the artist's work is the revival of cultures and art of different eras, the popularization of forgotten knowledge.
