Yulia is united since 2020 in a creative tandem with her husband Marat Mukhametov. The core of Yulia and Marat's work is experimentation with porcelain, combined with concrete and other media. Thoughts or emotions in their purest form, an attempt to capture something intangible, rapidly escaping and constantly changing, is one of the main themes of their research.

Yulia & Marat see their objects as the motion of multiple elements, constantly changing their shape. The frozen sculptural form is just a primitive way to embrace endless motion, that only remains truly real while it denies any form. Yulia & Marat follow this motion without interfering with it. First forms were coming from forests, not some ready organic forms or textures, but sound, light, color, movement . . . there is something unseen and beyond their ability to simulate that moves their.

On the edge of sculpture and ceramics, Yulia & Marat have developed our signature technique for creating seemingly floating, weightless objects that interact with concrete conceptually. They are constantly experimenting with porcelain, looking for the shape of elements and texture that will match the theme of the statement of different series. The combination of concrete and porcelain speaks about the human loss of harmony with nature and the infertility of attempts to restore it. Now the motive for the search for harmony is present in one way or another in all Yulia & Marat works.
