Julie Celina has always loved being creative and dreamed of becoming an artist when she was very young. In her family, creativity has always been highly encouraged and appreciated, which was a great motivation for Julie Celina as a child. However, as a person with many interests, Julie Celina chose a time to study anthropology in the hope of working for an emergency aid organisation. In her studies, however, Julie Celina found that she only became more and more motivated to share what she learned about other cultures and people through her art. Her fascination with people grew during her studies into love and belief in the power of humanity to make a positive difference, inspiring Julie Celina to express this hope and love through her art. Since this realization, Julie Celina has been actively working on her art career. 

Both her studies of different cultures and international travels have left Julie Celina incredibly humbled with respect for the challenges many minorities in this world experience. Julie Celina paints to show the beauty she sees in diversity, letting both the diversity of people and nature shine through her art. According to Julie Celina, it is important that diversity is respected and appreciated, because only then will everyone begin to feel welcome in this world.
