This artwork is a must-have for collectors interested in the Collection of Contemporary Art and fits beautifully within our Collection of Portraits & Genre. For those looking to Buy a Oil painting, this piece, despite being in coal, represents the exceptional quality and thematic depth characteristic of Yulia's work, available exclusively in our Online Art Gallery Store.

Narrative and Style

The piece features two central figures: a female with a rebellious stance and a male exuding stoicism, each adorned in classic punk attire against a backdrop of iconic punk graffiti. The woman's casual pose with a cigarette and the man's intense gaze capture the essence of punk's confrontational style. Yulia uses deep, dark coal to reflect the gritty texture of the punk scene, enhancing the visual impact and emotional depth of the characters.

Lihina’s work not only showcases the external aesthetics of punk but delves into the lifestyle's intense, vibrant essence as reflected in personal experiences and the broader cultural narrative. The graffiti background featuring "Sex Pistols" underscores the movement's music influence and its role in shaping punk identity and ethos.

Her journey from a youthful participant in the punk scene to a reflective artist informs her portrayal, adding authenticity and personal insight into the era's cultural impact. This painting is a tribute to the transformative power of punk music and culture, particularly inspired by the tumultuous yet influential story of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen from the film "Sid and Nancy."

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.
