Pompeii

At the moment Julia lives in the southern part of Sweden, in the city of Malmö, and enjoys a life of simplicity. She has been a painter for several years but actually started out studying medicine and psychology. “However, I suffer from chronic pains and had to give up my studies. Instead, I turned to painting. It has been a big part of my rehabilitation.” The pieces by Julia all have an air of calmness: Soft, organic shapes, subtle colours and finesse for textures dominate her artistic practice. She mainly uses acrylics and oil paint but also explores the look of crayons and pencils.
