About the painter
Julia Usmanova
My name is Julia Usmanova. I'm a Russian-born artist who primarily works in oil on canvas. My artwork blends the academic tradition of Russian painting with contemporary and Orientalist influences.
Artist's statement
“India proved to be far more diverse and layered than I could ever have imagined. Over the years, I have come to regard it as my second home — and everything that once seemed extraordinary and otherworldly has now acquired the gentle patina of something familiar, something dear.”
— Julia Usmanova
