Julia Bates

Julia started her career in animation with a background in character animation. After working in this area for a while, she decided to change her profile and start painting on canvas. At the moment, Julia has extensive experience in painting on canvas, paper, and furniture. He also restores old paintings. Having achieved mastery in the use of oil and acrylic paints, it was necessary to start searching for oneself in a new field of art.It's getting harder and harder for an artist to find their own unique style these days, but Julia did it. For several years she tried herself in various styles and eventually came to abstraction. But modern abstraction was already outdated and something new had to be invented. Thus, Julia created her own unique style, which she called "symbolic abstractionism".Julia was inspired by various oriental cultures, practices, as well as esotericism. Starting from Kabbalah, ending with the Hindu Vedas and Taoism. The trace of this knowledge and images can be clearly seen in many works.Also, when creating a painting, Julia often faced the fact that her abilities were limited by paint and tools. Therefore, she invented her own color recipe, which made it possible to embody ideas. Texture, volume, softness - those parameters that were missing.At the moment, with the beginning of the NFT era, Julia decided to return to digital art and now in addition to working on canvas she also works on NFT collections, patterns, posters. In her digital works one can already observe a unique style in which collages, photographs, and drawings are mixed.
