Crafting personal stories
with imagination and
resourcefulness
“I chose to never make up my mind between directing and
fine art. I’ve dedicated my life and work to telling stories, and
helping others tell theirs with a fervid dedication to detail,
craftsmanship, and imagination,” says Julian
- Exclusive to Magzoid
Julian Curi is an artist with a passion for
telling stories. He has had education
in both Directing and Fine Art, but
he has never limited himself to just
one medium. He has dedicated his life
and work to bringing stories to life through
various forms of expression, including art,
animation, and filmmaking. Julian’s work is
marked by a fervent dedication to detail,
craftsmanship, and imagination.
Growing up as a second-generation
Cuban American, Julian had a strong sense
of resourcefulness. He was always seeking
out new worlds and stories beyond his
suburban Northern Virginia setting, and he
would create them himself using toys, tape,
homemade costumes, and cardboard. Julian
has always had a drive to both entertain
and inspire those around him.
While Julian is best known for his work in
paper puppetry and animation, his professional
life has been far from one-dimensional. He
has pursued a diverse array of interests
and skills, never replacing one love for
another. He has sold caricature portraits as
a boy, pursued an acting career in film and
television, painted holy images for churches,
shot, directed, and edited films, and now
brings paper to life on camera.
Through all of his adventures, Julian’s
only constant has been his curiosity and
his passion for exploring new forms of
expression. He has always sought to master
new skill sets, find new ways of telling stories,
and entertain and inspire others. His work
in film allows him to bring all of his many
loves together, from drawing and painting
to puppetry and animation. In everything
he does, Julian strives to craft personal
stories that are both honest and imaginative.
