Julia Caldropoli

You have a defining, yet adaptable ambience.

What makes yours different from mine is the color of your presence. Your emanation of color is a raw form of your identity that fluctuates with human interaction. It is not solely your expressions, or attitude, or actions that mold your relationships. Rather, the combination of these qualities culminates in a whole individual that displays hues commonly overlooked by outsiders.

I aim to pinpoint the distinctive effusions of color that I notice in personal interactions. To overcome their subtlety for the viewer, I use oil pastels that amplify the color saturation. Although I depict friends who know each other well, colors form both when individuals encounter each other for the first time or build upon nuanced relationships.

Everyone has another side, and interactions unveil it.
