JULIA JÜCHTER
Julia Jüchter is an acrylic and mixed media painter from Germany. Her artistic approach is one of curiosity, exploration and freedom. Her work records behavioral and emotional patterns in relation to our stimuli-ridden environment and the broader social context. With a background in finance and economics, Jüchter has tried to reconcile the analytical and artistic side of her brain since childhood. Alongside loosely representational motifs in bold, vibrant colors, many of her paintings feature banknotes, which she collages on the canvas. As a highly sensitive observer, Jüchter is acutely aware of the importance money plays in our daily lives and the trappings it entails. However, as visual artifacts, the banknotes also express the pride, beauty, and culture of each country, representing their unique historical achievements. Through this disparity, Jüchter seeks to express the fragmentation between the money machine and the individuals living within it, highlighting the complex and often contradictory nature of society.
Despite these challenges, she believes in the power of art to bring people together and inspire solutions. Her work is a testament to this belief, affirming life with all its complexities and celebrating the joy of the creative process.

As an artist, painting has always been an integral part of who I am, even as I pursued a professional career in finance and economics. As a highly sensitive observer in a world filled with constant stimuli, I often find myself contemplating the people in my environment and broader social contexts. Through my artwork, I aim to explore and express this fragmentation between the money machine and the individuals living within it, highlighting the diverse and often conflicting aspects of life.
My work is a reflection of my personality, combining different techniques like acrylic, watercolor, ink, and collage. The layering, styles, degrees of abstraction, and the use of banknotes convey the different facets of our society, while the colorful and vibrant whole affirms life with all its complexities.
Although unbearably garish and hectic, all the individual parts ultimately come together to form a large, cheerful whole, affirming life with all its facets. Loving to travel in my job and privately, the diversity of our different cultures around the globe influences me. When painting as well as in life, the process is a joyful one. Despite the rifts and challenges we face, I believe there are solutions, and my art is a testament to this belief.
