Juliana Bratanova
artist & graphic designer

I’m

an independent artist and graphic designer who breathes, thinks, experiment, search ART. My portfolio is backed by long years of experience in a variety of creative projects, both solo and in collaborations.
When it comes to my work, I’m all about fusing a grain of the digital, innovative art world with fine art which carries a whole lot of messages coming directly through the drawing itself. Thus, my most preferred technique is Mixed Media Drawing meaning that I initially use the strength of my freehand drawing and then master it with a digital touch.
Last but not least, one of my key aims is to support regional and international initiatives to protect the environment and the animal world through art projects. 

FINE ART

My work is the fruition of strong interest and deep analysis of the symbiosis between the living and non-living elements of nature, depicted by Mixed Media Drawing techniques. Further, I like to dissect visually the world I live and to illustrate the unique structures, shapes and DNA codes it offers, broken through the prism of my imagination. I focus on the potential relationship between different subjects and objects cohabiting. Just like a moment in a play, my subjective characters create a dynamic and surreal stage for the viewer to explore.
As a fine artist, I’d like to believe that my work captures and interprets the beauty of such interactive moments.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

I am a crackerjack illustrator, graphic and brand designer, who has been creating effective visual identities for companies and causes of all sizes around the globe.
The professional path I’ve been walking on for the past decade, helped me to become a versatile, problem-solving warrior who strives to deliver an outstandingly creative solution at all costs.
