A dream that feels intense and almost real, but which seems impossible to remember. A dream in which everything irrational makes sense and in which our true selves can express themselves freely, uninfluenced by the outside world. This is where Juliana finds her inspiration. Just like the Surrealists, she employs the technique of automatic drawing to sketch dreams whilst still in a semi-conscious state. Juliana combines abstract elements that embody the hazy memories of her Colombian homeland with precisely rendered sculptures that are visually reminiscent of European classicism. These depict the people who are part of our lives or who influence them. Some with greater intensity, others only faintly, almost forgotten. Nevertheless, each of them is or was significant. Dreams, too, shape us in a similar way. We can no longer remember many of them, but they still reside in our subconscious. They help us with decisions and occasionally provide us with answers.

The artist Juliana Gutiérrez Wiest does not choose the traditional canvas as her medium, but aluminium. This material brings the artwork to life; it absorbs light or reflects it back. At times it appears brighter, at others darker. This effect helps to create a blurred world.

During her art and multimedia studies at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Juliana learnt to combine the analogue world with the digital. She brings her artworks to life through projection, with the aim of enabling the viewer to immerse themselves in her works.
