Born in a Rybinsk in 1986, a small town on the Volga River. Her first interaction with art was at the age of 6 when she began to draw. Later on, she studied fashion design at the Ivanovo Textile Academy but retained that she wanted to be an artist, she wanted to find a role, a compromise, between the two. In 2010, she studied Visual Communications at the British Higher School of Art & Design, where she developed her skills in graphic design and advertising. PINK POWER, in Hulya’s interpretation, cites that “pink is a metaphor of femininity, which made with ‘flesh and blood’ and without sweets and cakes, sweets of all kinds”. PINK POWER is an assertive and hard-hitting project, and Hulya has made is to regardless of the perceptions that Pink may be seen as a sentimental and naive.
