Julia Chuquis

Julia is an abstract expressionist artist. Her artwork has featured in a TV series, an upcoming Hollywood movie, international magazines, New York’s Times Square digital exhibition and she has worked with Interior designers such as Alisa & Lysandra Interiors and Mia Lake Interiors. Julia’s artwork has also featured in Grand Designs Australia magazine, and others. She has exhibited her work in galleries and has collectors throughout Australia and abroad.

Her creativity has always been connected to her natural surroundings; growing up on a farm, curiosity and love for nature inspired her to explore, observe and touch everything she saw and constantly feed her subconscious with texture and colour.
While gaining valuable knowledge and experience through more formalised studies, she accredits exploring nature as her most prominent teacher.
Describing her artwork as a fusion between interior design and subconscious creation, artworks are large statement pieces, from delicate layers to gestural brush strokes, textures and mark making in acrylic and oils.
When painting, Julia feels connected to the energy source that powers the universe. She shows her gratitude by hoping to capture the moment’s essence onto the canvas.
