The oil painting "Calling an Ambulance" is a dramatic recreation of a pivotal scene from Quentin Tarantino's acclaimed film "Pulp Fiction," particularly capturing the intense moment of crisis involving Uma Thurman's character, Mia Wallace. This scene is one of the film's most memorable and jarring, showcasing Tarantino's unique ability to blend tension with dark humor. In the forefront, the painting focuses on Mia, lying on the floor in distress, her life hanging in the balance. Her stillness is juxtaposed with the urgent actions of the characters around her. John Travolta's character, Vincent Vega, hovers over her with a medical syringe, captured in the moment just before he administers the life-saving adrenaline shot to Mia's heart. His expression is one of concentrated anxiety, understanding the gravity of the situation. The composition is filled with dynamic tension, emphasized by the stark contrasts of light and shadow that play across the figures and the room. The characters are frozen in a tableau of desperation and action, with each individual's reaction to the unfolding emergency adding to the overall narrative intensity. The artist reflects on their own evolving perceptions of the film, from initial shock to a mature appreciation of Tarantino's directorial debut. The painting serves as a homage to the film's storytelling prowess and its standing as a modern classic. The raw energy of the scene is masterfully captured in the artist's brushwork, with the rich soundtrack of the film almost audible through the visual intensity of the moment. "Pulp Fiction" is celebrated for its sharp dialogue, non-linear storytelling, and memorable soundtrack, all of which are encapsulated in this artwork. The painting is not only a tribute to a famous scene but also an acknowledgment of the film's impact on the artist and its lasting legacy in cinema history.

About the artist: Yulia Lihina, born on November 10, 1984 in Kharkov, Ukraine, was a very restless and stubborn child. At three years old, her mother showed her how to draw to calm her down. Julia attended art studio and art school from 1989 to 2002. This experience helped her understand how to live further, since she could not imagine her life without colors and art.

She graduated with honors from the Kharkov Art School (2002-2007), painting department, becoming an artist and teacher. During her studies, Julia painted many paintings to order, including stills from films, which was an interesting experience for her.

After graduating from school, she got married and soon became the mother of two children. After the divorce, she tried to return to painting, but her children did not allow her to do so. While working for a network company while on maternity leave, she saw how artists painted and sold their paintings, which inspired her to take up painting again. She quit her online business and started over with support from family and friends.

In 2019, Yulia began studying how artists work on the Internet. In 2020, she took a course on blogging and selling paintings abroad, starting to paint during the quarantine period. She considers the Internet the best direction for developing and promoting her creativity around the world.

On February 24, 2022, war began in her country. Initially, Yulia thought that everything would end quickly, but then she had to leave home, experiencing pain and depression. She quickly coped with it, started volunteering and received a grant to purchase art materials. This gave her the motivation to move forward and do something she had wanted to do since she was three years old.

Julia draws inspiration from films, loving the genres of biography, thriller, crime, detective, comedy, history, sports, drama and romance. She loves to convey the complex emotional states of actors on camera and finds cinema a special source of inspiration.

Her favorite artists are Levitan, Polenov, Serov, Repin and many others in this style. She specializes in drawing, painting and landscapes, working primarily in oil, charcoal and pastel. Julia primes the canvases herself, using the techniques of the old masters and imprimatura.
