Yulia Pinkusevich is a professor of art who primarily works in drawing and site-specific installation. Her work is architectural, focusing on her inner visions, psychological states, dreams, and meditations. She creates images of places and non-places that draw upon these visions aiming to capture and translate the feelings and emotional atmosphere of the impossible. She writes: “Each person alive today has a profound and deep relationship to architecture, even if they are not consciously aware of it. Architectural theory throughout time has had a compelling influence on human actions, paths, and thoughts. I would argue that architecture itself is a physical map of our human psyche. My work explores the psychology of space, by creating large-scale drawings and installations, which ask if the structures of humanity manifest through the things we build, then what does destruction of humanity manifest as?”

Pinkusevich has lectured at Stanford University and is currently Assistant Professor at Mills College in Oakland, California. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including site-specific projects executed in Paris, France, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was the recipient of The San Francisco Foundations 2011 Phelan, Murphy & Cadogan Fellowship in the Fine Arts as well as Stanford University SiCA’s Spark and ASSU Grants. She was born in Kharkov, Ukraine, and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works in Oakland, California.
