Yulia Badian
mater-real-ized art from portugal
Born in 1967 in Vienna, now based in the South of Portugal, Yulia Badian transforms forgotten objects into meaningful art. Guided by her neurodiverse perspective and inspired by Arte Povera, her work reflects resilience, memory, and a deep connection to the landscape.
As a feminist and wild woman at heart, Yulia creates monumental, organic pieces that feel as though they’ve always belonged, celebrating the power of transformation and the endurance of the human spirit.
