ABOUT
BIO
Born in 1980 in the city of Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg) in the Urals. I learned to work with threads at the age of 6 thanks to my grandmothers. In 1993, laureate of a creative competition from the Yekaterinburg City Administration.
Since 2004, the author begins to gain design and decorating experience, stylize spaces, organize the opening of restaurants, beauty salons and the creation of private interiors.
In 2016, Ulyana created the NITI brand, which was presented with knitted home decor and accessories in a unique modern three-dimensional technique.
In parallel with the opening of his own workshop in 2018, installations, panels, canvases, and sculptures with elements of knitting and threads appeared.
Active learning, participation in exhibitions, open competitions, residencies (Summer at the Factory, Morphology of the Streets), festivals (CHO, Zahodi), online galleries, and collaborations give the start to a career in contemporary art.
Volumetric dense sculptures made of threads, knitted mega installations, work with copper and other materials that can be knitted act in creativity as a logical continuation outside the plane.
In 2021, the artist became a participant in the special project of the 6th Ural Industrial Biennale of Contemporary Art and a member of the Union of Russian Artists.
Resident of the galleries Textilgallery (Moscow), Atmosphere (Ekaterinburg), Saachiart (USA), Singularart (France).
His works are stored in private and corporate collections in Russia, France, Switzerland, and Turkey. Including FRIMPEKS TR and MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A.), Energogarant Insurance Company.
ARTIST STATMENT
My ancestors (blacksmiths, weavers, spinners) seem to have passed on craft skills to me, which I turn into art. It's like the evolution of memory, the interpenetration of past and present.
In my work I use materials that can be woven, belong to a place or can convey a story. For example, flax and copper are traditional for the Urals and reflect reality well. I use their symbiosis and rupture to search for new meanings. This is the foundation for rethinking the Ural identity of women's craft as art.
Creating works from “threads” is like feeling life through actions. I am a tactile artist, so my works contain a mixture of techniques and materials. They are about new aestheticism and new materiality. I'm interested in material in the process of transformation. I address the material itself through tactility, and the problems of creative transformation of the material through aesthetics.
My works connect our origins with a new reality. They have no obligations. They provide food for thought and force one to turn to the sense of tradition
