Julia Hacker

Treasured Time, Original Painting

2020

Artist Comments
A dreamy contemporary garden scene created in many layers of acrylic paint and hand-painted, cut paper plants. Artist Julia Hacker says she focused on the surface texture, creating a balance between the thick paint and more delicate collage work. Julia applied bright pinks, blues and greens and gold metallic paint but kept the piece soft and ethereal, evoking a morning among blooming flowers.

About the Artist
Julia works from a studio in her home that overlooks a wooded ravine and finds inspiration in the natural order of the universe. Her art draws from many sources of imagery, but consistently possesses a magical and ethereal quality. Whether the image depicts stylized snowfall, glistening flora, or a collaged figure, the work exudes a fleeting element of beauty that transcends reality. Julia primarily creates using painting or illustrated collage. When she paints, she foregoes sketching beforehand, instead allows emotion and intuition to drive the composition. Her collages are influenced by illustration techniques acquired from her Master’s degree in fashion design. Julia likes being able to switch between the two artistic methods, often working simultaneously on multiple projects to keep her creative inspiration fresh and constantly evolving.
