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.  

Her visual language is one of intriguing contrasts, yet her works evoke a sense of dynamic equilibrium, inviting viewers into a space of contemplation and positivity.

Julika is represented by KellArt Gallery and included in the Boomer Gallery Art Advisory. Her work is held in private collections in the UK and Europe.

In her first year of showing her art, Julika has exhibited in group shows in France, Germany and the UK, as well as showing solo in London.
