Julia Sophia Neundorf
CONCEPT & PROCESS
“For me, the act of painting represents a way of communicating something I cannot put into words. I don’t really think or paint – I simply exist in the moment, acting intuitively and reacting. My focus is on immediate experience, clarity and leaving questions open. I don’t see myself as a storyteller – my work conveys a feeling rather than a story. There may be a lot of history behind it, but you don’t need to know it to grasp it. It’s comparable to music. You don’t need to understand the score of a symphony to enjoy it – you can simply experience the sounds.”
BACKGROUND
Julia Sophia Neundorf has been living and working in Erfurt since 2014. She has been an artist with the Meet Frida Foundation in Hamburg since 2024 and has exhibited several times in the Hanseatic city as well as in Berlin. She began drawing on her plaster cast at a very early age, following a serious accident involving her cervical spine and a related near-death experience. Once she was able to walk again, she never stopped being creative and quickly developed this into her greatest passion: painting. Early extracurricular support in the field of art paved the way for her future. She became a sculptor in 2013 and subsequently began studying art and literary studies. Since 2019, she has been working in her own studio alongside her studies.
