About Yura

Yura Ilieva is an artist based in Spain.
A violinist from very early childhood, and later, as the youngest violinist in her hometown opera, is when her artistic talent and affinities formed. The perfectionism characteristic for violinists is transformed later on into visual art – modern, visionary textile works with which she takes part in numerous exhibitions in the USA; Bulgaria, and Spain. Her artistic repertoire is expanded in the last twelve years to include her new passion, realistic and abstract paintings in oil and acrylic – through which she continues to develop even more her sensibility for beauty.

Artist statement:
“Painting is for me a primal vital force and necessity.”
