Julia Belozertseva (b. 1989) is an artist and architectural designer based in London, working under the name l-0, derived from the Cyrillic letter Ю (pronounced ‘Yu’). She holds an MA in Architecture and Urbanism from London Metropolitan University and works across ceramics, painting and printmaking.

In her practice, Julia explores the concept of Naïve Archaeology, viewing surfaces, architectural details and fragments of everyday life as layers of meaning. Her work is rooted in an interest in how familiar objects, places and images move between reality and imagination, transforming through associations and recollections. Traces of human presence and changes shaped by the passage of time become the foundation for speculative compositions.

Drawing from her architectural background, she moves away from the precision of technical representation towards a more intuitive engagement with materials, surfaces and forms. Through layering and texture, her works explore the space between natural formations and human interventions, from geological erosion and rock markings to built environments, everyday objects and ornamental details.

Her works function as speculative artefacts: fragments that appear to belong to an elusive history, suspended between observation and invention. Through distortion and reinterpretation, familiar forms are reimagined, allowing new meanings to emerge from what has been worn, altered or partially forgotten.
