ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

Julia Soboleva is a Latvia born, UK based artist. Her process involves painting and collage on found photographic imagery. Meditating on the themes of order and disorder, Soboleva constructs mysterious narratives with ominous overtones and absurd humour. Being born and raised in a post Soviet era and struggling to find her own place against the complicated past of her nation, Soboleva explores the notions of family, taboo and trans-generational trauma within her work.

Soboleva obtained a BA at Southampton Solent University and a Master’s Degree at Manchester School of Art, winning the Paul Osborne Drawing Prize during her studies. Her first monograph ‘I have found the light in the darkness’, was published in 2021.
