Hi Julian, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
I usually wake up at 6am to workout then I go to work. After work I come home and get right to working on art for the rest of the night
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Julian Haskins, a Virginia-based visual artist, is driven by a passion to create art that embodies the
essence of black excellence, love, and originality. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed artists such
as Ray Johnson, Poetry Jackson, Tommy Mitchell, and Clayton Singleton. Julian aspires to capture
the grace and distinctiveness inherent in the concept of “blackness”. His art transcends boundaries,
aiming to forge connections and foster relatability among all individuals.
Using acrylic paint as his medium, Julian skillfully portrays the themes of love, unity, and greatness
through his vivid and emotionally charged depictions of people of color. Each brushstroke breathes
life into his canvases, infusing them with a powerful energy that resonates deeply with viewers.
Julian’s art invites us to explore the depths of human emotion and celebrate the beauty and
richness of diverse experiences.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My parents. They allowed me to pursue art and go through trial and error while I was living with them.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The most defining wound I have is losing my father. I’m currently still healing and realizing it is a lifelong recovery process for me
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! I’m a very personable, enthusiastic and fun loving individual always down to have fun
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That pursuing your dreams should never stop and that your ambition and creativity is limitless
