Paper Art Inspiration from Yulia Brodskaya
I’ve been wanting to try some paper art myself recently, since its one of my favorite mediums. Over the years one of my favorite paper artists has been Yulia Brodskaya, you can see some of my favorite works from Yulia above. I love the intricate and brightly colored scenes she illustrates and projects she’s done for companies like Google and O Magazine. Visit her site at www.artyulia.com.
About Yulia – From her site:
Yulia Brodskaya was born in Russia (Moscow); prior to moving to the UK in 2004 she was interested in diverse creative practices ranging from Textile Painting, Origami and Collage to more traditional Fine Art practices. Following an MA in Graphic Communication (2006, University of Hertfordshire) she continued to experiment and explore ways of bringing together all the things she likes most: typography, paper, and highly detailed hand-made craft objects. She has swiftly earned an international reputation for her innovative paper illustrations and continues to create beautifully detailed paper designs for clients all around the world.Julia on why she loves using paper
“I believe that one of the main reasons I enjoy the paper craft, is due to my love of the material: paper. Although I’ve always had a special fascination for paper, it has taken me a while to find my own way of working with it; and then it took a little longer to find out that the technique I have been using so intensively is called quilling – it involves the use of strips of paper that can be rolled, shaped, and glued to the background.” Read More
