Hi everybody!
My name is Julia Spiri. I work as a freelance artist in my studio and painting is my full-time job. I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, but my first drawing lessons came from my father — he is a painter too.
For many years I painted portraits, caricatures and illustrations, and I illustrated a range of coloring books and children's story books. I have been painting all my life.

I live near Barcelona in Spain with two big German shepherds. I'm a romantic, I adore fantasy, and I portray it in my mysterious young women who captivate people with the direct stare of their big eyes.
My artistic mission is to embellish this world, to bring my drop of optimism and happiness to people. That is why all my works are cheerful, romantic and full of vibrant color. My style has a touch of whimsical fantasy art, and my favorite mediums are watercolor and pencil.
I'm passionate about character design. I have created hundreds of characters from a fantasy world — each one unique, each drawn with a lot of love.

What you'll find here

Most of my work is grayscale coloring pages for adults: hand-drawn, pre-shaded, and sold as instant PDF downloads at 300 dpi sized for A4, with three versions of every illustration in the same file — dark grayscale, light grayscale and sepia. There are over 400 of them, plus complete printable coloring books.

Alongside the digital work I make things by hand in the studio: polymer clay jewelry, some of them finished in UV resin, coloring postcard sets printed on heavy mixed media paper, handmade bookmarks, art postcards and waterproof vinyl stickers. And the original watercolor and pastel paintings themselves, of which only one of each exists.

Licensing and partnerships

My artwork is licensed to companies around the world. You'll find my illustrations in Oraloa diamond painting kits, in Colouring Heaven magazines, in the Pigment coloring app, and among the digital art resources at Digital Art Heaven.
I license across diamond painting, stationery and paper goods, home decor, textiles, publishing and digital products, with more than 100 original artworks available. If you would like to feature my work on your products, write to contact@juliaspiri.com or visit the licensing page.

I'm happy to share my art with the world, and I have fulfilled my dream of working creatively for a living.
