Yulia Brodskaya’s intricate quilled artworks are a sight to behold. Using strips of colorful paper folded with precision, Brodskaya creates vibrant compositions that showcase the power of a line. In her latest series, the artist explores her love for drawing and emphasizes the dimensionality of each line in her creations.
One of her standout pieces, “Nature of Things,” features a kingfisher perched on the edge of a leaf, surrounded by a geometric grid reminiscent of quantum illustrations of black holes. Brodskaya drew inspiration from foliage, allowing the curving lines to guide her vision of a toroidal shape that serves as an organizing principle in the artwork.
Through her paper art practice, Brodskaya transforms two-dimensional drawn lines into three-dimensional strips of paper glued on their edges. This unique approach adds a sense of ethereality and energy to her pieces, making the lines come alive in a way that traditional drawing cannot capture.
