Narrative and Style

The painting delicately portrays a young boy deeply engrossed in reading a magazine, set against an indoor backdrop rendered in a warm palette that evokes a cozy, reflective atmosphere. The inclusion of a magazine cover parodying adult media adds layers of irony and humor, reflecting on the themes of growing up and the innocence of childhood. The composition echoes the humor and isolation experienced by Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone," drawing parallels between the boy’s curious engagement with the magazine and Kevin’s adventurous spirit.

Artistic Interpretation

Yulia Lihina uses soft, diffused lighting to highlight the boy’s expression of surprise and curiosity, emphasizing the juxtaposition between his youthful innocence and the adult themes of the magazine. This scene not only captures a moment of childhood naivety but also comments on the broader societal rush towards maturity, wrapped in a humorous yet poignant package.

Artist’s Personal Connection

Yulia’s connection to the theme stems from her nostalgic recollections of watching "Home Alone" during festive seasons, bringing layers of personal and cultural resonance to the artwork. Her depiction goes beyond mere visual representation, embedding the painting with memories of laughter and familial bonds, making it a profound commentary on the impact of media on childhood.

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.
