Artist of the Day, February 14, 2025: Julie Naima a Canadian emerging artist, painter (#2218)

Julie Naima is a Canadian artist, originally from Montreal, who now lives in a peaceful rural town away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Naima pulls inspiration from the magical places of the world, both real and fable, experienced in her travels and through her inner child’s imagination.

Experimentation is a central part of Julie’screative process. By exploring various techniques and media, she examines fluid paints and flowy inks of all kinds along with epoxy resin, collage, and mixed media. When she returned to the basics in her studio with acrylics and put her focus on color, Julie finally discovered what resonated most with her: colorful abstract art imbued with good intentions and positive emotions.

Naima pulls inspiration from the magical places of the world, both real and fable, experienced in her travels and through her inner child’s imagination.

Naima says about her own work: “I am drawn to juxtaposing and layering solid, rounded shapes of rich and contrasting colors with the intention of creating captivating and immersive scenes. My art is not just an arrangement of shapes and colors; it is a conduit for introspection, an exploration of the connection between the viewer and the visceral language of color. Through this connection, I aim to share moments of joy, serenity and wonder, creating a space where emotions are vivid, and the soul finds resonance.”

Naima's impressive body of work can be found in many private collections across Canada, Europe, Australia, and the United States, attesting to the universality of her artistic vision.
