About the artist

Julian Clavijo is a nationally and internationally renowned Award Winning Artist currently based in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to his active participation in the production of "Memoir of a Snail" as Principal Sculptor, prompts and puppet making as well as background and skies, this film has been nominated to A Golden Globe and The Academy Awards - Oscars for Best Feature Animated Film, making him the only muralist ever to be nominated to such accolades. A painter and sculptor since a very early age, Julian has demonstrated an enormous capacity to professionally establish his practice and style in Australia, South America, USA, Europe and the Middle East. After graduating in 2011, Julian started exploring the possibility of translating his photorealistic oil painting technique on to mural painting at any scale. By mixing spray painting skills, commonly use in the world of street art, and the traditional brush work techniques almost resembling classical fresco murals, Julian can achieve striking hyper-realistic results by painting murals at monumental scales in public spaces. This has earned him the respect and demand of the urban art community in Australia and around the globe.
