Studies & Archives

The Studies & Archives collection presents a curated selection of figure studies, preparatory works, and early paintings that document the evolving process behind Liliya Muglia’s artistic practice. These works offer insight into the technical discipline and observational foundation that support the artist’s larger, fully realized compositions.

Rooted in classical training, the collection emphasizes the study of the human form through direct observation, with a focus on structure, proportion, and tonal development. Executed primarily in oil, these works reflect a disciplined approach to figure painting, where light, anatomy, and composition are explored with clarity and restraint.

In addition to academic studies, the archive includes transitional works and exploratory paintings that reveal shifts in approach, scale, and subject matter. These pieces capture moments of investigation—where ideas are tested, refined, and carried forward into more complex compositions.

Together, the collection serves as a visual record of artistic progression, highlighting the essential role of study and experimentation in the development of a cohesive body of work.

The original artworks remain in the artist’s private collection and are available for acquisition. Select works may also be available as fine art prints upon request.
