“Going further is the goal to pierce the canvas, to enter into it with all of us, so that life itself becomes a great work of art.”

Giulio Giustini

Giulio Giustini born in Sansepolcro, Italy. He comes into contact with the artistic context of the upper Tiber valley. After a short study experience at the artistic high school of Sansepolcro he decides to change his path. Afterwards he undertakes a self-taught artistic path driven by a strong will to express himself.

Initially he dedicated himself to the study of materials and their assembly, creating wall sculptures. Later, living between Rome and Valtiberlina, he became interested in the world of Street Art, contaminating his works with urban figurative elements and stencil technique. In 2015 he moved to Berlin where in the same year he founded the artistic project Urban Olive Design of wearable sculptures, at the same time he had experiences related to photography and design, increasing his skills and connecting them together.

His last work was born during the lockdown period due to the Corona Virus spent in Rome. His work tells the story of isolation from the world. After the initial moment of quarantine euphoria, the hardest part came later, so he approaches painting in a very instinctive way. With a primitive language he has immortalised the past and how he sees the future, never so far from the present. So, with the few means at his disposal he manages to transform the walls of the condominium terrace into canvas by drawing with recovery tools digging into the wall just like rock paintings. The solitude at the moment of creation had disappeared, and in that moment he manages to forget everything. In this way he creates a series of works.

Once back in Berlin, driven by a strong inner need to continue what he had started, he worked on designing some works. He dedicates himself to both the construction of the loom and the aging of the canvas, creating an aged wall effect on it through various techniques: burying the fabric in the ground for days or painting with coffee and other mixture.
