Julia Steinmuller (born 17 July 1974 in Germany) is a London based contemporary painter who creates abstract and figurative art. Her works strongly relate to modern scientific ideas and existentialists' philosophy.
Life and Career[edit]
As the daughter of a natural scientist and medical surgeon, Steinmuller learned to draw anatomical body parts in her early childhood. Confronting death at the age of four, she fled into the world of philosophy and arts at an unusually early age.
At the age of ten Steinmuller organized her own exhibition on the street displaying her first figurative-like sculptures made of insulation material leftovers she had found on a remote building site.
In the years to follow her engagement in visual arts was interrupted by personal upheavals and struggles. Not receiving encouragement to pursue a career in art, Steinmuller was sent to study business and languages in London. Following a short lived career in finance in the city, she moved to Saint Barthélemy (French West Indies) in 2002, where she befriended a number of Caribbean and French artists, such as painter Zaza Noah [1] – a period that marked a turning point in the artist’s life.
After her move back to Germany in her late 20th, Steinmuller would acquire the skills of fine arts through self education and soon set to produce a series of photorealistic works that attracted attention of a few private collectors, encouraging the artist to publicize her works.
Resettling in London in 2009, the artist began working on a number of commissions and a selection of works were exhibited on charitable auctions[2] and events [3] and can be viewed at Hus Gallery.[4]
Works[edit]
In 2011 and 2013 Steinmuller changed her focus from figurative oil painting to experimenting with the birth and destruction of structures and colors. She made a series of abstract paintings that deal with physics science and the concept that beauty and form can originate from borderless chaos, like our very existence itself. During the developing stages of the canvas, “fear of making constant changes or destroying the structures or image has no meaning”. Instead the artist defies the conventional way of creation, while her chosen tools and materials (oil, acrylics on canvas) remain traditional.
In 2014 the artist set to work on her series “Entanglement” creating a multiverse of lines that spread across the canvas and interact with one another in an incoherent fashion yet creating meaning once shaped into a visual concept.[5]
