Julia Curylo was born in Warsaw. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and won her MFA in 2009. In January of 2010 she won a competition organized by the Gallery A19 in Warsaw and her large-format mural Lambs of God that was presented there brought her widespread acclaim. In November 2010 Curylo received a Grand Prix from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. In May of 2011 she was nominated for a prestigious award of the 10th edition of Geppert Competition. Subsequent years brought many others exhibitions and presentations of Curylo's art, including her objects displayed in city spaces, including Warsaw, Poznan (festival No Women No Art) and Bydgoszcz. In 2012 she received a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage designated for a production of series of pneumatic sculptures chicks, again presented in city spaces. In 2016 she was listed in the Compass of Young Art as among the top ten most important young artists. Julia Curylo creates paintings, sculptures and installations, many designed as public space projects, with intertwined references to religion (the Church Fairs and Miraculous Visions series), consumerism, women's art history (the Chicks installation), science and technology (the Large Hadron Collider series), migrations (the Euro series) and kitsch. Her works are strongly sensual and energetic and address ambiguities of the contemporary world.
