Jule Lucia Companie’s large-format, vividly coloured paintings move between reality, fantasy and symbolism. Her current series “Frida’s Unborn Children” shows expressive child figures set in imaginative worlds drawn from different cultures.

Intricately painted textiles, animals, plants and hidden symbols speak of identity, connection, transience and the bond between people and nature. Her paintings are places of refuge, where vulnerability, curiosity and the inner child have room to be.

They aim to open hearts and to give courage, hope and trust in life.
