Julia Rómas

Julia Magdalene Rómas (*1994) works as Artist, Musician and Teacher in Berlin.

"In her work, painting, performance, music, video, text and scientific research flow into each other. Julia Romas deals with concepts of identity, the spaces of the self and the relationship between human and nature. She is inspired by her Slavic roots and her stays in Asia, where she engaged in ritual dances, Far Eastern handicrafts and music. The vocabulary of her paintings is inspired by Eastern European folk art and folklore: people, dances, sureal animal beings, semicircles and plant worlds. Julia Romas combines her dance training and her passion for writing in experimental readings and performances, which as part of her versatile practice also flow into the music videos she produces to her own music. Julia Romas creates an extensive oeuvre, which she has already presented beyond the framework of the Kunstakademie Hamburg, in exhibitions, concert rooms and galleries." (Markus Selg, 2021)
