Biography
Julia Shestak is a self-taught contemporary abstract artist whose work explores the intricate interplay of emotion, energy, and spirit. Through the use of acrylics, oils, pastes, resins, and unconventional materials like sand, metal, and glass, Julia channels the unseen forces that shape our inner worlds. Her art is not just a visual experience; it is a visceral expression of movement, emotion, and energy, captured through fluid techniques and textured layers that invite the viewer to feel rather than simply see.
As an empath and Reiki healer, Julia has always been deeply attuned to the energies that surround and flow within us. This sensitivity is the driving force behind her creative process, as she seeks to translate her own emotional landscape and spiritual journey into vibrant, tactile compositions. Each piece is a reflection of her personal exploration—an invitation for others to connect with their own feelings, life experiences, and sense of self.
Born in Odessa, Ukraine, and now living in New Jersey, Julia’s multicultural background informs her artistic vision, blending diverse influences with a raw, emotional depth. Her work is a testament to the transformative power of art—a bridge between the soul's deepest truths and the physical world.
