Hi :)
My name is Sveva Julia, an artistic woman born in an ambulance on the bridge over the Amstel River in Amsterdam in the year of 1994.
From the age of 2 I started doodling which developed
further into writing short stories (with some help of my supportive parents and grandparents) when I aged 3. From then on I realized that my biggest passion existed in the creative world.
Key education
I finished the Orientation Year at Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 2014 succesfully.
Next I graduated in Artistic Research (Bachelor of Fine Arts) at Art Academy AKV St. Joost in Den Bosch, The Netherlands from 2014 till 2018, with honors.
In 2017 I finished my minor in Applied Psychology summa cum laude at Hogeschool Leiden.
I won a Porcelain scholarship in the summer of 2017 and studied at international JDZ private studio in Jingdezhen, China.
After my bachelor I completed a premaster in Humanistic studies at Universiteit voor Humanistiek in Utrecht.
My work in general
Drawing, writing, performing, sculpting, photography and making short films has become my way of expression and storytelling.
My stories and the creative medium I am using may change dynamically from time to time,
but the key topics always coming back are in alphabetic order: absurdism, adulthood, the city, dating, different generations, frustrations, mental health and playfulness.
Using my unique sense of humor is the cherry on top of this delicious cake.
