Julia Lawall

My artistic journey began in 2020, rooted in the meditative practice of mandalas and an exploration of self-balance and flow. This early discipline cultivated a deep understanding of intrinsic patterns and energy.

Life’s profound shifts, including motherhood and a transatlantic move from Portugal to Italy, became fertile ground for artistic transformation. These experiences naturally led me to a new visual language, exploring the tactile beauty of textures and the dynamic movement of acrylics on canvas.

My recent work, including challenging larger-scale pieces, pushes the boundaries of perception, inviting viewers to experience art not just visually, but also texturally.

I work slowly, letting each ridge settle before the next stroke so the canvas keeps the memory of every gesture. I paint full-time from my studio near Rome and release only a handful of originals at a time.

Whether you’re looking for an existing piece or a custom-sized commission, I’m happy to talk materials, colours, and the story you want a work to tell.
