Yulia Vladimirovna Mamontova (Zabrodina) is a contemporary Russian artist. She was born in 1980 in the Komi Republic, RSFSR.

Yulia Mamontova is the great-granddaughter of the Russian merchant Vasily Mamontov, who continued the family business of the 18th-19th centuries to trade and deliver goods from England to Arkhangelsk and the Urals along the Mezen River.

In her work, the artist Yulia Mamontova combines the best traditions of the classical Russian school of painting, Western techniques and conceptual presentation, works in two directions: classical oil painting and decorative and applied art "encaustic" (an old method of painting with hot beeswax with pigments).

The study of the traditions and arts of different countries, the love of history and the continuous search for new images give the artist the opportunity to study life in all its manifestations and transfer this experience to those around him, reflecting it in paintings. The ability to notice details and be open to the world allows the master to transfer the subtlest nuances of the atmosphere to the canvas, therefore both abstract and realistic paintings by Yulia Mamontova fill the viewer with a sincere love of life. And also inspire to get acquainted with the origins and history. This is just one of the main themes of Julia's work - the revival of cultures and art of different eras, the popularization of forgotten knowledge.
