Robles, Julia

Creativity has influenced many aspects of my life from the early years to the present.  Defining who I am today.

I knew early on that art would be my main focus.  During high school I took as many different art class as I could to determine what I was most passionate about.  After high school, I attended Harrington Institute of Interior Design in Chicago where I received my associate degree.

My love for helping others create beautiful spaces led me to wanting to create beautiful pieces from jewelry to art for one’s home.

I am a fluid/mixed media artist.  I work primarily with acrylics on canvas, incorporating modeling paste and different fibers along with multiple layers of paint to achieve depth in my work.  My inspiration comes from nature with a focus on movement and free forms.  My art is a celebration of color, fluidity, texture and the relationship between the different mediums and how they interact while gliding across the canvas.  My goal as an artist is to create a sense of wonder, allowing the viewer to see things in different and unique ways.

I’m mindful about the excess paint used during my process and either reuse it as a base coat on another piece or let it dry and use what is referred to as “acrylic skin” to add to jewelry bezels to create unique one of a kind earrings, necklaces and rings.

You can correctly find my work at the Q Gallery in Lake Havasu City.  I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I do.

I have shown pieces at Las Lagunas Art Gallery and am published in Contemporary Metal Clay Rings by Hattie Sanderson.
