Julia Rehme, tattoo artist
Berlin, Germany
"I was born and raised in Osnabrück, Germany, in the 1980s. After graduating in fashion design from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hanover, I decided to move to Berlin, where I further developed my artistic spectrum and learned tattooing. Today, my works can be seen on canvas and paper as well as on skin.
In 2014, I founded the studio NOÏA|Berlin, which now hosts an international team of artists. In the meantime, I have given up the management of the studio. With a desire for change and a new environment, I moved to Leipzig in 2022 where I founded CHPT2 Studio, continuing my vision of presenting tattooing as an extension of the artistic spectrum.
ARTIST STATEMENT "My paintings and tattoos are characterized by an abstract expressionist visual language. Even though I allow my intuition to guide the process, my serial works often pursue a specific theme. What lies hidden is expressed in my paintings and drawings.
Through gestural painting, I represent a moment from infinity and deal with coincidence and order, destruction and decay. I visualize energetic fields of tension, which, however, dissolve again and extend into infinity beyond the edge of the artwork. Elements of a microcosm merge before dividing and sorting again in the macrocosm.
With my works, I reflect the laws that govern humans and nature."
