About this artwork
Consisting of 5 large-scale works, this series was created in the context of an extensive practice of various process-oriented techniques, which are primarily concerned with dealing with blockages and are to a certain extent a result of these exercises.
The line here was to unfold from "nothing" into "nothing", the task was to work without a task. Not to compose, to remain unimpressed by the size of the format, not to slip into seriousness. To… truly create freely, without templates and without the prefabricated idea of an image.
These works are to be understood as documents, less as works that can be judged as successful or unsuccessful. They are testimony to a long and difficult process, which must naturally reflect failure and triumph in equal measure.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Julia Holtmann is a German visual artist based in Spain, holding an MFA from the University of Málaga, Spain and a BA from the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg, Germany. She works primarily with graphite drawing, often incorporating natural materials into her practice. Her art is characterized by ritualistic, automatic drawing, exploring opposing forces such as revelation and concealment and employing techniques like blind drawing and overwriting to delve into consciousness and trauma. Through ambiguous abstractions that straddle the familiar and the enigmatic, she creates evocative, layered imagery. Her art radiates both tension and serenity, inviting viewers into a contemplative confrontation with reality and the complexity of human experience.
