Jullie-Ann Viljoen is a South African fine artist based in Pretoria. She creates original oil and mixed media paintings that sit between abstraction and realism—works shaped by themes of resilience, memory, and discovery.

Her process is slow and layered. Texture matters, but so does what sits beneath it: the parts you only notice after living with a piece for a while. The work is made to hold attention over time, changing with distance, light, and mood.

My work often begins in moments of transition — when something has shifted, but not yet settled.

Rather than describing these experiences directly, I build surfaces that can hold them. Through layering, pressure, and material, the work becomes a place where memory, presence, and change can exist together.

Jullie-Ann’s background includes studies connected to psychology and art therapy. That influence shows in how the paintings carry feeling without forcing one meaning. Viewers are given space to connect in their own way.
