Interview Julie Morin
Who is your role model?
I am inspired by a lot of different people, I like
to have eclectic taste, it always feeds creativity
and difference. I loved Enki Bilal when I was
growing up (I guess it was my nonconformist side
then). A little bit later I discovered the works of
Kandinsky and Klimt. As a modern artist, I love
Charmaine Olivia (my work is very inspired by
her) and Brittany Lee Howard whose abstracts
truly impress me.
What was the best advice given to you
as an artist? Don’t give up.
What is your dream project?
I would love to have my own studio, where I
could paint all day and do some photo work
as well. I would also love to help the homeless
people, a project that could be called “Art for
a roof”. You would buy a piece of art for your
home and at the same time, a part of the
earnings would go to a charity which allows
homeless people to eat and sleep for a while.
How beautiful would that be? It’s something very
dear to my heart, and I don’t know if it will ever
go from project to reality, but I keep hoping that
someday it will.
