Yuliya Alagir is self-taught artist whose creative journey began in childhood. Her internationally recognized Conceptual-Symbolist series, Mystery of the Sun (1999), explores profound connections between ancient symbolism, sacred philosophy, and the elemental power of the Sun. Over two decades, her work has examined time, lost civilizations, and humanity’s enduring bond with nature.
Based in Calgary, Yuliya also develops Lyrical Expressionist series, capturing the emotional resonance of northern landscapes through color, light, and intuitive perception. Her signature style fuses the transparency of watercolor with the depth of acrylic and oil techniques, creating multilayered, expressive works. A member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the Canadian Watercolour Society, her work is held in major collections, including CAMUZ and Lazgi Museum
