Profile
I am Yuli Gates, a relief printmaker specialising in linocut prints, based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom.
My work mainly focuses on the beauty of food animals, whole natural foods and ancestral ways of eating as the main inspiration behind my art.
I believe that processed foods are a big driver in today’s chronic disease epidemic and that as a society, we lost touch and contact to how our food is made and what it’s made of.
In my 20’s I got extremely ill with 4 autoimmune conditions, they completely destroyed my quality of life and modern medicine could only help me manage the symptoms. Though my own research and finding functional health professional I was able to get off all my medications and put all my health problems into permanent remission.
This inspired to me create art that focuses on the beauty on ancestral foods, whole, natural, unprocessed foods that are nutrient rich and can support health.
I use natural and recycled papers, I use mostly traditional lino and oil based inks. I try to use my art to start a conversation and make people think more about the connection between their diet and health.
