Giulia Dall’Olio

Giulia Dall’Olio was born in 1983 in Bologna, Italy.
She lives and works in Trieste, Italy.

Dall’Olio deals with the imbalance between man and nature. If you reduce the main theme that runs through her work to a short formula, you end up with a classic genre of art history: landscape painting. At the same time, however, her consistent approach to the depiction of nature does not correspond to the usual definition of this traditional category. For one searches in vain for people or even traces of their existence in Dall’Olio’s works. Instead, viewers of her work are confronted with a world in which all life seems to consist exclusively of vegetation.

Her latest series of works comprises charcoal drawings on canvas and paper, which are interspersed with color and material interventions: Acrylic and pastel as well as synthetic fabric threads interfere with nature here, covering it up and thus symbolizing the influence that humans have on nature. Giulia Dall’Olio’s works not only display a thematic complexity, but also an unmistakable signature that testifies to technical precision and reveals the artist’s deep world of thought.

Giulia Dall’Olio’s work has been showcased worldwide, including in Italy, Germany, France, Canada, the USA, Korea and China.
