Velia De Iuliis

Velia de Iuliis’ paintings possess a charmingly self-aware curiosity with the natural world. Pulling inspiration from the environment, mainly from animals, flora and fauna, de Iuliis focuses on the visual intricacy, pattern, color, and form donned by reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Almost like a scientist, she carefully examines and researches a subject. She then documents it in paint, infusing a rich level of imagination into the final results.

Velia has had solo exhibitions at AR4T in Laguna Beach and Ochi Projects in Ketchum. Her works have been presented in group exhibitions at Jules Maeght Gallery in San Francisco, Athen B. Gallery in Oakland, and Helikon Gallery in Denver, among others.
