The Breath of the Forest by Julia Chuquis
Is a textured meditation on renewal and reconnection. Inspired by nature walks where the weight of daily life dissolves, this piece invites the viewer into a moment of quiet release. Mossy greens and layered brushwork evoke the forest’s gentle breath—its stillness, vitality, and ancient rhythm. A soft white border outlines the central form, like a clearing in the woods or a map of emotional terrain.
This work was created using a unique technique developed in my studio—an intuitive layering process born from years of experimentation and study. My goal as an artist has always been to push boundaries, exploring every form of applying paint to discover new ways of bringing emotion to canvas. Breath of the Forest is not only a painting—it’s part of a larger vision to develop a new creative application, one that feels as alive and evolving as the natural world itself.
It’s not escape—it’s return. A soulful reminder that the forest doesn’t just surround us—it breathes with us.
