Member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia and the International Art Fund Yulia Erokhina is a well-formed artist, recognizable by the semantic content of paintings, but at the same time constantly looking for and adding something new in her own creative manner. Today, experts perceive Y. Erokhina as a representative of the avant-garde field, working in an experimental framework, as multifaceted on the subject of the artist. Her works were exhibited and became laureates at many Russian and international exhibitions and contests of contemporary art, are in the collections of several museums and private collections in Russia and abroad.

The style “expressive impressionism of a conceptual sense” prevailing in contemporary art differs in the works of Yu. Erokhina in philosophical content, which combines the value of “what is depicted” with that “how”. If expressionists consider the energy of color not only as a means to convey the idea of the content of the painting, but also as its content, which does not need a plot, and the impressionists are focused on stopping a wonderful moment by any means, then the creed of Yulia’s creativity is the combination of the power of color with the depth of the plot meaning. The perfection of the painting technique for her as an artist is not an end in itself; she refers primarily to the viewer - to the person, and not to his aesthetic feeling. She is careless, subjective, does not need outside advice, boldly uses well-known techniques, self-sufficient and infinitely true to herself.

Julia Erokhina has her own energy of love. It was the desire for harmony of worldview, which has become rare in art of the last three decades and so keenly felt by Venedikt Erofeev, that Yulia Erokhina managed to reflect in her paintings to his works. The set of stories itself has a defining conceptual sound: “To the train through the store”, “But humiliate us and not torment us”, “Simple letter”, etc.

When the viewer, in the artistic literary and pictorial image of St. Teresa’s acquisition of the stigmata, sees an event equal to the hero’s finding of a bottle of pink strong in the poetry of V. Erofeev “Moscow - Petushki”, it becomes clear that any abyss is empty and that each of us can easily “rise” to her. Neither the plot nor the high professionalism of the technical performance of the painting determines the value of the painting. The most interesting thing in art is the artist’s personality, and if it is original, then critics are ready to forgive him thousands of mistakes and… admire.
