Julia Pazdur (Krakow PL, 1998) began the painting process of her new series of works called “Touch the Sound” at the age of four. It was the time she first mastered the use of scissors. Initially, she cut white paper, then colored sheets and eventually turned to interior design magazines, carefully extracting furniture images.  Arranging these cutouts into collages, which later became the inspiration for this series.

In 2024, Julia graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie with a degree in Fine Arts. During her studies she experimented with various media, including video, performance and installation. However, painting remained a personal practice, developed outside of school on small canvases at home. Her works blend visual elements with the atmosphere she experiences, creating dreamlike compositions that balance between reality and imagination.

Julia: “My passion for cheetahs stems not only from their beautifully painterly print but also from the atmosphere they bring to a composition. Paradoxically, despite being predatory, fast, and powerful animals, I attempt to domesticate them by placing them in home-like settings. In this context, they exude an unexpected sense of tranquillity, bringing an almost dreamlike atmosphere.”

The motifs in her paintings originate from various sources—often rooted in her personal reality or serving as its interpretation. Initially, she believed she was painting still lifes, but upon reflecting on the Polish translation of “still life”—”martwa natura” (literally “dead nature”)—she decided to expand on the concept. Skulls became symbols of death, while fruits came to represent nature and life, creating a dialogue in her work between the fleeting and the enduring.

During this exhibition we will present a preview of the next show by Sara van Vliet which opens Saturday March 1st.
