ABOUT

Julianna Bernado creates fine art paintings using a mixture of oil pastels, watercolors, acrylic paint, and oil paints. Influenced by their scientific background, she draws most of their inspiration from complexities she sees in the natural world. Julianna finds answers to intense social questions in the wild and uses painting as the means to convey their conclusions. When painting, they create diverse textures by varying their use of oil based and water based materials. The chemical immiscibility allows them to highlight multiplicities by building physical structure into an otherwise 2D image. Julianna has always been inspired by fauvists' use of bright color and sees a reflection of their saturation and beastly brush work in their oeuvre.
