HIdden Traces Fading Places
Julia Kabell, 35, Unnaryd, Sweden, Scandinavia
'“A large eggtempera-painting on mankind's destruction of our habitat. The painting is inspired by old vintage, botanical tapestries. Exotic, botanical places that mankind soon has turned into extinction. Consumerism is the religion of our time. Every piece of plastic, every bit of garbage we throw away. It doesn't go away just because we throw it in the bin.. what do we leave behind?"
Julia is a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and graphic designer from the woods of South Sweden, Scandinavia. Julia was born and raised in the forest of the eastern outskirts of Halland county. Coming from an outdoor and a 'cultural family', it's not strange that nature is a constant source of inspiration within her work.
Julia likes working in mixed medias like eggtempera, oil, graphite, watercolour and ink- as well as digital.
Julia’s work is recognized for its mix of animals, colours and children/women and often has an environmental or feministic symbolism behind it.
