Giulia Salza
I am an artist, an illustrator and a live painter.
But, more than that, an empathic and highly-sensitive person who travels on this planet telling and painting stories.
Art Statement
Dreams are my main source of inspiration, serving as a gateway to the subconscious world that lies inside us. My research focuses on the hidden forces of Nature, old tales, mysteries of unconsciousness, the necessity of conjugating and harmonizing real and surreal entities in order to understand ourselves and the others. In order to find our wholeness.
I am drawn to storytelling, especially through the lens of fairy tales and mythology. I find myself illustrating not just stories, but life experiences in a symbolic language. Each detail, carries a piece of a story or a meaningful symbolic moment, like snapshots of the human inner world.
For me, art is a way to filter reality through the lens of emotion. It's about capturing life's complexities and presenting them in a digestible way, inviting viewers to explore different perspectives. Through storytelling and emotive imagery, I aim to peel back the layers of human experience, revealing the beauty and depth within.
Acrylic and oil are my favorite mediums. When people contemplate my art, I love watching them, interacting with them, listening to their thoughts, feeling their emotions. It is such an enriching and meaningful experience: probably the best part of the whole process.

I am a sleepwalker and, apparently, my favorite place to go as a sleepwalker is the balcony.
No matter what’s the temperature outside.

DOGS
make me laugh ♥ Innocent and ADORABLE creatures! Totò, a famous Italian actor, used to say:“The dog is halfway between a BABY and an ANGEL”♥
My favorite book is
“LA DIVINA COMMEDIA” by Dante Alighieri. It tells the story of Dante and his journey in the afterlife. This book changed my life forever.
