Space Gallery St. Barth is proud to present the captivating watercolor collection of Julie Fumat, the French artist and illustrator behind Moon St. Barth. Renowned for her elegant hand-painted compositions, Fumat has become one of St. Barthélemy's most beloved contemporary artists, creating refined watercolor illustrations that celebrate the island's unmistakable beauty, vibrant culture, and relaxed Caribbean lifestyle.
After completing a more traditional education at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Julie’s artistic journey eventually took her to discover the art of watercolor. Since then, she has set about representing the neighborhoods of her adopted island, little by little, stone by stone, in order to create a colorful inventory of the beauty of Saint Barthélemy.
Under her artistic identity ‘Moon St Barth’, Julie creates delightful, delicate watercolors, that capture the nuance of the places we hold special on the island and their color and spirit. She works primarily with ink and watercolor because they rely heavily on transparency and allow her to play with chance.
“I have a particular affinity for the wet-on-wet technique, which enables me to create beautiful fusions between water and pigment that give watercolor its unique charm. However, I’m always eager to experiment with new techniques. I regularly reinterpret my illustrations using digital overprinting from photographs or decomposing watercolors layer by layer to give each drawing a new dimension and depth”. - Julie Fumat
