01/02/2027 - 01/16/2027

Argentine artist Julia Gentile is known for her imaginative glass and resin sculptures that blur the boundaries between art, nature, and fantasy.

Working with complicated, unconventional mediums such as resin, cold porcelain, and acrylic, she is constantly experimenting, developing new materials, and pushing the limits of what these materials can become.

There is something wonderfully mysterious about Gentile’s creations. At first glance, you might wonder what you are looking at. Is it something from a fairy tale? A delicate piece of glass? A flower or butterfly suspended in midair? Or something entirely otherworldly? Her work invites curiosity, revealing new details and unexpected perspectives the longer you look.

Inspired by the organic beauty of flowers and butterflies, Gentile combines fluid shapes, vibrant colors, and captivating transparency to create pieces that feel both natural and fantastical. Moving effortlessly between figurative and abstract forms, her sculptures seem to capture fleeting moments of beauty, light, and movement, suspended somewhere between reality and imagination.

Beneath their luminous surfaces, her creations explore the connection between the natural world and our inner emotional landscape. Layers of color and transparency evoke both distance and intimacy, inviting viewers to discover their own interpretations and connections. Each piece is an invitation to pause, look closer, and rediscover the extraordinary in the unexpected.
