As part of her collaboration with Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin, multimedia artist Julia Beliaeva brings two worlds into harmony: centuries-old porcelain tradition and digital art practice. The works from her new series "Feel Blue", created during her Artist Residency 2025, will be shown for the first time at Berlin Art Week in collaboration with König Galerie.
Beliaeva used the clear formal language of the Bauhaus vase HALLE by Marguerite Friedlander-Wildenhain and large-format porcelain tiles as an artistic canvas in KPM's traditional master painting - part of the intangible UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. They combine classical mythology, Ukrainian folk tales and the painful presence of war. Each of these works is unique.
"Art heals by revealing all aspects of a trauma - from the global to the most intimate and secret. It illuminates the dark sides of society, descends into the cellars with a flashlight or powerfully lights up the entire darkness of the night," says Beliaeva. "We all have traumas - post-colonial, historical or personal. My work tries to find a way out through beauty," says Beliaeva.
The historical pigment Prussian blue becomes a visual leitmotif that Beliaeva combines with the figures familiar from her sculptural work. This results in works that inspire reflection on cultural heritage, lost traditions - such as the now defunct Ukrainian ceramics industry - and the resilience of the human soul
