Julian on his work:
As I got older I realized that I didn’t have to just make things that were pretty or representational; I could make things that were in my head. I could tap my thoughts and emotions and express them in paintings. I could capture my fantasies and fears in a way less fleeting than my imagination, putting them into art, something tangible for others to see. The more I realized the power I had with the brush, the more I painted. I began to see other people become inspired and moved by my work. My work grew into something bigger than me and turned into a tool for communicating with, inspiring and transforming the people around me.
About “Future Gardens and Other Destinations” (left):
Future Gardens and Other Destinations is the result of time I’ve spent self reflecting, traveling through my mind searching for answers. While creating these paintings, with simple pours and intricate line work, I spent time in my head working through the event s of the past year. The process of making these paintings gave me quiet time, away from the city, in my head, to reflect upon myself, my choices, motivations and fears. The paintings are gardens, cities and maps of places I’ve traveled while contemplating. They are the places I’ve gone to recharge, rethink and analyze my past, present and future.
I just have to add a few more comments! I just love your paintings so much. The words that come to mind when I see your work are: Organic, dream-like, intricate, elegant, whimsical, and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Absolutely stunning work. I got goosebumps when I looked through your works on your website. It’s like looking into your mind or something, it’s amazing! Your palate is very broad but very controlled at the same time. I just can’t tell you how much I like your work. Bravo, keep painting, you have a true gift and looking at your work makes me happy!

Wow. Amazing, amazing work. Are you exhibiting any time soon in the NYC area?
I’ve been following this artist. His work can be seen and purchased at Bobby Berk Home in Soho and at 246 Mulberry in Nolita. His work is truly amazing, I love his use of color and texture. I heard he also has new work up in Astoria but I can’t find out where. Does anyone know where he’s exhibiting in Astoria?
i love your colors and imagination…delicious.
I would love to know where your artwork is available? It is intriguingly beautiful!
SO BEAUTIFUL! WHERE CAN WE PURCHASE YOUR WORK?
