JULIA & her jellyfish

Hauntingly Ethereal Depictions Of The Most Elegant Creatures Under The Sea

Berlin artist Julia Charlott has proven she deserves the title Queen of Jellyfish with her haunting illustrations of jellyfish. During her studies in product design at the Weißensee School of Art, Julia discovered her passion for illustration. From there, she has dedicated her life to capturing the mystery of these deep-sea creatures. The Berlin native grew up spending a lot of time near the coast throughout her childhood, instilling a strong connection to the sea, evident in her jellyfish drawings and paintings.

“This one stands for the fear of changing plans. The fear of trying new paths. Of being left alone. Of emotional pain. The unknown. It’s always worth it to put your feet in scary waters. Even if you have to swim for a while,” Julia explains her digital painting “Red Phenomena,” a fiercely red portrayal of her muse.

While she’s not creating colourful watercolour or digital illustrations in Berlin, Julia also spends her time in the northern German island Sylt, surrounded by the North Sea and finding continuous sea life art inspiration.
