Go Gentle, Original Painting

2019

Artist Comments
This painting is part of Julia Hacker's latest series focused on capturing the essence of florals through abstract expression. Julia uses wide brushes to express the freedom of nature, consciously avoiding details. "I work to follow the behavior of the fluid acrylic paint and allow myself, and the viewer, to be surprised with the outcome," says Julia. This painting was created on acid-free Yupo paper.

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.
