About

Julia Santa Olalla (Granada, 1985) studied at the Alonso Cano Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Granada. There she shared the training stage with other artists and gradually came to terms with the reality of the profession by attending courses, exhibitions and painting competitions. She represents disturbing images, crossed by something hidden. She shows events with an indefinite beginning and end. Here, the narrative ellipses in the montage and what is blocked from view through the pictorial take on importance. This fact does not resolve the images but poisons them with uncertainty.

Santa Olalla delves into the ordinary. That zoom-in that increases the perception of what surrounds us, whether intimate or strange. This search generates disturbance and enigma. The marvelous is equivalent to the poetization of reality and the revelation of something contained in the everyday.
