Julie Celina

Although she is easily inspired, Julie Celina is particularly drawn to ethnobotany, symbolism, distant worlds and the simple things of everyday life, which are the main themes that dominate her semi-surrealist artworks. Her artistic practice has followed the evolution of art, starting with realism, then moving on to impressionism, and now Julie Celina is mostly inspired by the post-impressionists, where the iconic Henri Matisse is her all-time favorite artist.

Inspired by the regenerative movement and her background in activism, Julie Celina has set out to transform her artistic practice to use only natural and biodegradable materials, a commitment that very few visual artists make. Her preferred medium at the moment is oil paint on wooden boards coated with crushed pumice stone to create a uniquely textured surface. From time to time, Julie Celina also enjoys creating linoleum prints, embroidery and charcoal drawings. In addition, she likes to make prints to offer her works in different sizes to make them more accessible to everyone.

Did you know that Julie is currently living in a village straight out of a fairytale? After years of longing for a more leisurely life closer to nature, Julie Celina now resides on the tiny, raw and windy island of Fanø, off the Danish west coast, in the middle of a national park called the Wadden Sea, where she is surrounded by endless beaches, heather fields and fairytale villages.
