Multidisciplinary artist with a trajectory of 23 years, was born in Gardenia, California 1981. Residing in the city of Houston. Julieta grew up in Guanajuato, Mexico, and studied at Universidad La Salle, graduating with a double concentration in Fine Art and Marketing Graphic Design. Her debut as an artist exhibiting her “Mother Earth” piece, was published in the local newspaper A.M. in June of 2002.
She has participated in several individual and collective exhibitions in the United States and Mexico, including the Art 43 show, a demonstration of the local community’s solidarity with the families of the students missing in Ayotzinapa. The event set the tone for the ethos communicated by her work inspiring a positive revision of how we view ourselves as collaborators for a common cause.
Julieta’s works are rooted in her cultural background, and she admits that she feels most inspired to create while viewing society through a critical lens.“I use art to express many different ideologies: the influences on society, distribution of power, social relations, and values… For me, making art is a commentary on the nature, of society. It is a way of causing an impact on the way we have been instructed to live.” She is committed to discovering the feats of local creatives, tuning in to the experiences the art scene offers. She is an exceptional sculptor and painter and is valued by her contemporaries for her role as an activist. The aesthetic of her work in many ways reflects the culture of her upbringing. The influential use of color in Mexican art stands in Julieta’s work.
