Collection: Julia Olofsson

Julia Kabell is the artist who dives deep into how environments are affected by human presence and activity. She explores places where people have left small footprints, fragments of human energy that have waned over time. By physically being present at these places, Julia documents and creates a deeper understanding of the environment, and these places then become fundamental references in her artistic work. Her art focuses on natural environments with various buildings, both exterior and interior.

In Julia's artwork, figures, usually women, whose task is to anchor the individual's experiences in the environment that has been changed by man, reappear. Drawing is a fundamental means of expression and a technique that plays a central role in all parts of her artistic processes, from idea to finished work. She constantly challenges drawing by applying it to new contexts and materials, including wood and utility objects, in an effort to extend the basic form of drawing.
