Julie Van Wezemael creates drawings and small ceramic and wooden sculptures. In her studio in Ghent, she painstakingly constructs colorful worlds layer by layer, infused with symbolism, fauna, flora, and playful details. Her passion for manual techniques is reflected in her rich use of materials. Acrylic paint, pencil, drypoint, and sewing thread come together to form a textured whole that reveals the organic genesis of her illustrations.
