Julia Mai Linnéa Maria | on Tumblr (b.1985, Sweden/Iceland)

Born in a small village in the south of Sweden, Julia Mai is a freelance Illustrator now based in Reykjavík, Iceland. What Julia Mai expresses in her artwork she says is a tricky question, as it is the soul way to express herself. She often gets surprised with what comes out on the paper. Her inspiration comes from everything around her: people she meets, imaginary or real, and stories they tell her. The human nature, our flaws and our beauty. “And the nature, which especially here in Iceland with it’s mythical scenery gives a quite unreal feeling,” she says, “I guess that what I do gives me the opportunity to flee, it’s like daydreaming put on paper, if that makes any sense.” Please visit artist’s Behance, Facebook page or follow her Tumblr for more work.
