Julia Asimakopulos
Montreal-based artist Julia Asimakopulos creates abstract works in concrete – brutal and ubiquitous, yet responsive and sensitive – moving between painting and sculpture. Built through layered pours, her pieces embed fragments of paper, rust, tar, and thread, visible beneath the surface and within carefully created interstices, sometimes reduced to a trace, like memories not fully retrieved or fragments of human journeys. The concrete itself continues to shift and crack over time. Incorporating ink into the pours further triggers unpredictable reactions within the material.
At times, she breaks apart earlier works, carrying their fragments forward and re-embedding them into new ones. These ruptures, like fault lines, are unsettling, evoking geological or personal upheaval where the ground is never fixed, where change is inevitable.
Julia holds a BFA and a degree in Design and has been exhibiting for over 30 years. She is the 2025 recipient of the Jini Stolk Best of Online Art Fair Award.
