Jules Wild

I love the ebb and flow of life, the changing seasons and that nothing is ever really static or stable. Flowers are equally fleeting in their beauty, as is the impermanence of heavily graffitied walls, pasted with layer upon layer of torn posters and peeling club flyers. They tell such an interesting and diverse story.

I am also a huge fan of colour as well as mixed media, and through a process of layering and painting, cutting and pasting, my aim is to blend all these disparate elements together into something unique, vibrant and ultimately ‘everlasting’.

I currently work under the name A Beautiful Curious.

For the last 18 years I have work as a wedding florist. When my flower business came to an abrupt halt during the covid pandemic I went back to my love of creating with paint and paper, purely as a means of escapism and play.

After sharing some of my work on instagram, mid lockdown, the feedback was so positive that I am now committed to creating art full time, alongside my wedding work.

Over the years I have amassed a huge photographic flower library and many of these images are the basis for my collages. I want my artwork to blend the beautiful, romantic side of florals with the grittier side of urban art and graffiti references creating a colourful, yet edgy juxtaposition of the two.
