Artis Bio :

As an interdisciplinary artist from Southwest Detroit and shaped by her upbringing in the Northeastern region of Jalisco, Mexico, Julianna Sanromán delves deep into the complexities of her childhood, wrestling with an identity that feels both distant and intimately close. Her exploration involves tracing the intricate patterns of migration, delving into the depths of her yearning to reconnect, retrace, and reclaim aspects of her past-an endeavor to translate her emotions and memories that have always lingered with her. These underlying intersections between her past and present experiences serve as the canvas upon which her existence is painted-a life born amidst love, violence, solitude, faith, and homeland. In her artistic pursuit, Julianna seeks to capture the essence of her desires, holding onto the hope that, in some alternate reality, her family would remain united. Through visual representation, she aims to liberate a part of herself from the relentless yearning for this idealized reunion. Julianna finds catharsis and self-expression in interwinding threads of remembrance and imagination, creating a tapestry that reflects the myriad facets of her being. Each representation is imbued with personal significance, a reflection of her cultural heritage and lived experiences. Julianna has shown work at The Scarab Club (Detroit, MI), Art Prize (Grand Rapids, MI), BasBlue (Detroit, MI), Detroit Artist Market(Detroit, MI), and Gallery Omnibus, (Dresden, Germany). Julianna is a graduate of the College for Creative Studies receiving a BFA in Art Practice.
