Yuliya Osyka is a Ukrainian born figurative artist from the beautiful city of Dnipro, now based in the also beautiful NYC.

Yuliya’s work is both minimalist and expressionist. It balances between painting and graphic work, and in each of them she works on psychological portraits and their grotesque physical manifestations using exaggeration and reduction of form as the means of distilling a feature of interest. 

Yuliya earned a BFA in Animation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (class of 2015) and graduated from State Theater and Arts College of Dnipro in Ukraine majoring in Graphic Design and Fine Arts (2007-2011).
