Giulia
Giulia creates vibrant and exciting artworks, often inspired by nature, animals and people. Her work consists mostly of colourful illustrations, incorporating bright hues and creative patterns. Giulia relishes in the community at Artbox, developing friendships and collaborating with the volunteers and other artists in the group - you will often find her singing as she works! Giulia’s artistic process promotes positive mental health as she frequently gets into a highly focused ‘flow’ state, a mindful practice that allows her to relax and distance herself from her day-to-day responsibilities. Giulia loves to represent the Artbox community and has become a leader and voice for others with learning disabilities.
Giulia often works with repeated printed designs, a notion that stemmed from her hugely successful collaboration with Lush, for which Giulia produced a crab design that was printed on bright pink and red headscarves. Giulia feels an immense sense of pride in her work and says she feels happy and respected when she sees others enjoying it. This is key to Giulia’s practice - the joy of others enjoying her pieces are at the centre of her practice.
“I like the way it goes on the wall and in the frames and I’m very happy that there’s always lots of people interested in my work. I feel respected. They say nice things. I worked really hard. I feel happy.”
