Julia Gagarina von Heiroth

Julia Gagarina von Heiroth is a visual artist based in Helsinki. Her art explores the line between imagination and reality, often through portraits and figurative works. Working in classical oil painting and drawing techniques, she combines architectural precision with emotional depth, creating images that are both structured and expressive. Drawing remains at the heart of her practice, where she discovers characters, stories, and memories, sometimes adding sudden colour accents to her graphic black-and-white style.
