My name is Julia Belozertseva [b. 1989], I am an artist and architectural designer based in London, UK. I also work under the name l-0, derived from the first letter of my name in Cyrillic [Ю], read as ‘Yu’.

From an early age, drawing and painting were central to my life. When I said I wanted to be an artist as a child, I was told that it was not a profession, and for a time I set drawing aside. This uncertainty eventually led me to architecture, a field I entered without fully understanding it, yet one that reconnected me with visual thinking, spatial memory, and image-making.

Alongside architectural projects, I continued to draw and paint. These works gradually evolved into an independent practice, culminating in my first series, Architectural Memories [2014]. The series transformed faint, almost forgotten impressions of places into visual form, marking a shift away from architecture as a profession and toward a more open artistic practice focused on memory, atmosphere, and how spaces linger in recollection.

My current practice, which I refer to as Naive Archaeology, draws on architectural thinking, ancient graffiti, and naïve, self-taught art. Moving between reality and imagination, I create constructed landscapes, creatures, and objects that hover between recognition and abstraction.
