Julie Mauskop’s paintings are emotional explorations of hidden desires and feelings of otherness. Her compositions frequently depict fluid bodies and figures, examining the tensions between social interaction and isolation. In her work, the naturally soft-spoken Mauskop presents her intimate moments and veiled thoughts for the gaze of the outside world.
