Artist Bio

Based in London and originally from Germany, Julika Pettigrew (b. 1977) brings her background in interior architecture to the canvas - where structure meets spontaneity. Her bold abstract compositions play with the tension between clean, architectural forms and the raw beauty of organic expression.

Drawing inspiration from both architectural lines and natural rhythms, Julika’s work is richly layered - built up with scrapers, pastels, dry pigments, and unexpected materials that give each piece depth and movement. Her process is intuitive and experimental, juxtaposing control and vivaciousness. The result are artworks that spark curiosity and radiate energy, inviting the viewer into a space of positivity and joy.

Julika is represented by KellArt Gallery and her work is held in private collections in the UK and Europe.

Three paintings of her 'Playful Summer Series' will be shown in Paris Salon International d’Art Contemporain in a group show with ArtBox.
