the world or nothing

by Giulia Beck

about the artist

Giulia Beck is a Brazilian architect and illustrator based in the Netherlands. Her paintings often depict fantastical characters, many of her own creation; deeply inspired by myth and legend, her portraits are windows to the rich inner world she is crafting every day, as well as her interests and emotions.

Painted by day

Watercolor has become my new favorite media for about a year now, resulting in a series of small paintings I proudly share with you here. These are some of the orders made for clients and friends (and clients who turned into friends) or simply moments I wished to preserve or interpret.

  • Tidal Pride.

  • Sweet Shere-Khan

  • The Soukis ‘Canopy’

  • Tijger van Blijdorp

  • A cat named Chin

  • Olifantje

  • For Nora

Painted by night

Oddly distant from my watercolor work, my digital paintings always seem to explore fantastic and dark characters, either borrowed or created by my own means. It’s via this media that I meet the face of my interests: harpies, elves, vampires, and all things mythical.
