Julia Maiuri's works are small, intimate portraits of distant people fading into an unknown background. In observing their transient gestures, one feels as if looking from behind a curtain of silk. Julia's archive of personal and found images is the starting point for the construction of an almost obsessive journal where sensations temporarily lodge on the narrow space of the canvas.
Read MoreThe escapist nature of her work leaves room for improvising narrations, wondering about the relationships between the figures in desaturated, almost monochrome paint. Fake scenarios and dreams could open up a whole array of biases, beliefs, and conjectures in enough amounts to suddenly realise that reality isn't much different.
