About Julia Smithing:
Through her art, Julia explores the details of nature in ‘beautifully strange’ surreal still-lives, and inner landscapes. She studied painting at Boston University, but she grew up in Budapest, Hungary. The city in the heart of Europe will always be her home, but she is happy to call Boston her second home. Perhaps due to moving around, her works focus on natural relationships indifferent to a physical location. Julia continues her passion for artistic expression outside the art studio at synchronized swimming practices. The sport generated her interest in the human body, movement, physiology, and energy sources. It helped her find her path in exploring her passions: movement, art, and nature. They all tie together to make me the artist, athlete, and biologist she is.
