Daughters of the deep

Julie Celina is an artist based in Denmark.

Julie Celina’s art has been described as feeling feminine, ancient, and modern all at once. With her soft, muted color palettes and rich textures, her paintings create a calming atmosphere that encourages quiet introspection, blending nature and humanity effortlessly. Featuring botanical elements alongside serene, contemplative figures, her work invites viewers into a reflective and grounding space, serving as a reminder to slow down, breathe, and listen.

After years of longing for a slower-paced life closer to nature, Julie Celina now resides on the tiny, raw, and windy island of Fanø on the Danish west coast, in the middle of a national park called The Wadden Sea, where she is surrounded by endless beaches, fields of heather, and fairytale-like village
