Winter Blues, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
Artist Julia Hacker depicts a cool tactile image of a sunrise glowing through the woods. Using thick layers of acrylic in various shades of blue, red, and purple, Julia produces a sculptured effect. "The rising sun breaks through the dark winter night between the outlines of the tree branches," describes Julia. "This is inspired by Gerhard Richter's approach to painting on photography."

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.
