Julian Potulicki
Oil PainterNyack, New York

The alchemical play
of dancing pigment.

Creative endeavors promote silence of mind, often resulting in communion with spirit. Painting is a highly spiritual act, that raises consciousness in ways no other activity has done for me.

The practice

Painting has all the qualities of a ceremony.

Julian Potulicki paints in Nyack, New York, chasing the way tone and hue activate subtle scales of emotion. The work moves between a symbolic language of light, atmospheric horizons, and fields of pure color, always toward the same end: to heal by oscillating a vibration of feeling, striking a unique chord with each viewer.

Selected

A first look.

A few pieces to sit with. Each is an original oil. The full collection, gathered by series, waits in the Work room.

Light Codes

Codes of light,
drawn in the dark.

A recurring current in the work is a painted alphabet of light: sacred sigils and glowing forms that read like a language just out of reach. First gathered as Light Codes, his debut solo exhibition at Metro Craft in 2025.

The artist

Spontaneity, coupled with joy and love of craft.

This idea that various powderized compounds ground into paste can then be blended with a hairy wand into pure magic of visual storytelling has never ceased to amaze me. Nothing excites me more than oil paint and its power to heal by oscillating a vibration of emotion, striking a unique chord with each individual viewer. Painting has all the qualities of a ceremony.
