JULIA BURULEVA
Multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona
Julia Buruleva is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Barcelona, renowned for her distinctive blend of photography, performance, and installation art.
Her work is characterized by its vibrant and unconventional imagery, often incorporating elements of improvisation and play. Buruleva's compositions explore the surreal and the fantastical, challenging the boundaries between reality and imagination.
She frequently uses self-portraiture in her creative process, combining multiple images into intricate photocollages that create complex narratives.
In a series of projects Julia Buruleva employs a distinctive artistic approach by posing herself for her photographic works. She meticulously captures multiple self-portraits, each portraying different characters, poses, or emotions. These individual portraits are then combined into cohesive photocollages, where groups of figures appear as if interacting or coexisting within a single composition.
This method underscores her innovative approach to photography, where the self becomes both subject and storyteller in a richly layered artistic exploration.
Inspired by her surroundings, the photographer reconstructs her dreams and fantasies. Julia Buruleva blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, creating scenarios where she embodies various personas or explores diverse narratives. In her photography, reality dissolves, making space for surrealistic expressions influenced by the richness of her everyday experiences.
