ABOUT

As a freelance illustrator based in Berlin, Julia Schwarz creates works for editorial and advertising clients and cultural institutions. Julia studied graphic design with a focus on illustration at the Folkwang University of the Arts and the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf and graduated in 2015 with a master’s degree. Her illustration style is colorful, planar, and modular. She combines digital elements with textures, influenced by analog printing techniques, to get content-related and visually exciting contrasts. By playing with the familiarity of these analog textures and their haptics, she introduces a distinct liveliness into her digitally drawn images. The perspectives remind of a child-like view and grow a visual setting around a human character.
