Acrylic on Canvas
Original paintings created using layered acrylic techniques, focusing on texture, depth, and color interaction.
Based in Paphos, Cyprus
Living and working by the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by natural light and open spaces.
Inspired by the Sea
The rhythm of the sea, changing light, and coastal landscapes shape the mood, palette, and energy of each piece.
Based in Cyprus, Julia Zubovich works with acrylic on canvas, developing a visual language shaped by light, color, and atmosphere of the Mediterranean.
Her practice explores the relationship between emotion and abstraction, where layered textures and restrained compositions create a sense of balance and quiet tension. Each work is built through an intuitive process, allowing color and form to evolve organically.
Julia's paintings invite a slower way of seeing — focusing on subtle shifts, mood, and presence rather than narrative.
Selected works have been exhibited in local and independent art spaces.

A quiet fleet glides across still waters, their sails glowing like silk under the changing sky.
This painting captures a fleeting moment — the calm between the wind and the waves, when everything stands in delicate balance.
The soft palette of lavender, teal, and pearl evokes both dream and memory, like a regatta seen through the haze of a summer evening long past.
It is not just about boats — it’s about freedom, stillness, and the beauty of simply moving forward with the wind at your back.
Scarlet Sails

In this evocative and textured piece, a woman in a flowing scarlet dress stands at the edge of the shore, facing the open sea.

In the distance, a ship with bold scarlet sails cuts across the horizon — a timeless symbol of dreams, hope, and transformation.
The artist uses bold, expressive palette knife strokes and a vibrant color palette, dominated by fiery reds and deep blues. The sky and sea are rendered with dynamic, sweeping gestures, creating a cinematic atmosphere and emphasizing the emotional tension of the moment.

The Summer You Keep Forever
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 60 × 70 cm
Year: 2025
Bathed in warm golden light, this vibrant scene captures a sunlit street of a coastal town, leading the eye towards a serene bay where white sails glide across the horizon. The sun-soaked walls in shades of ochre and terracotta are contrasted by deep blue shutters and doors, while abundant flowers spill from pots and balconies, filling the air with colour and life.
With its strong perspective, the composition gently draws the viewer into the scene, inviting them to wander down the quiet street and feel the salt-tinged breeze from the open sea. The distant sailboats become symbols of freedom, travel, and the timeless beauty of summer by the coast.
This painting is a celebration of light, warmth, and the memories we carry — the kind of summer you keep forever.
