Hello, I’m Giulia, and my artistic journey has taken me on a fascinating path from the sun-drenched hills of Pietrasanta, Italy, to the enchanting landscapes of Ireland.
Born and raised in Pietrasanta, a town nestled in the heart of Tuscany and renowned for its artistic heritage, I was naturally drawn to the world of art from a young age. Surrounded by the works of renowned Italian artists and inspired by the intricate beauty of marble sculptures, I embarked on my artistic exploration.
My formative years were marked by a deep and all-encompassing artistic research during my formal art education in Carrara, in a land where the footsteps of many great Italian artists echoed through time. There, I delved into the world of sculpture, learning to breathe life into clay and master the delicate art of shaping form and space. This experience allowed me to understand the tactile nature of artistic expression, the nuances of texture, and the interplay of light and shadow in the most profound way.
These insights continue to shape my paintings today, where you can see the echoes of sculptural precision in the rich textures, subtle play of light, and intricate details that define my artistic style.
While sculpture was my initial focus, the art school also encouraged an exploration of diverse artistic forms. This period of my life saw me transition seamlessly between sculpture and painting, allowing me to explore a spectrum of creative possibilities. It was during these years that I developed a deep appreciation for the fusion of artistic disciplines, realizing that each medium held its own unique magic and storytelling potential.
Yet, life has a way of taking unexpected turns, and my path led me into the realm of scientific studies. I embraced this new direction, expanding my horizons and acquiring knowledge that would later enrich my artistic endeavors.
It was in Ireland, with its mystical landscapes, ever-changing weather, and the captivating presence of both animals and the sea, that my artistic spirit found a renewed spark. The rugged coasts, lush green fields, and ancient ruins whispered stories to me, while the vast expanse of the ocean offered endless inspiration, mirroring the enchanting waves of the Mediterranean that I grew up near.
Today, I blend all my past with the emotional depth and creativity of my Italian heritage into my art that reflects the fusion of these diverse influences, offering a unique perspective on the world around me.
Come along on this artistic journey as with me as I invite you to see the world through my eyes, exploring the beauty of Ireland through my work.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find inspiration in my creations.
