Episode 29 (1): Kirsten meets….. Julia Massow
Episode 29 (1) “Kirsten meets………”: Julia Massow, artist in Copenhagen
My encounter with Julia carried a unique color, so to speak. It resonates, it echoes. My visit to Julia Massow in Copenhagen was delicate, intense, and inspiring.
Julia graduated from high school in 2005 at Schloss Torgelow. After high school, her path initially took her to the “Institute of Design” in Hamburg. After her studies, she had stops in Australia, again Hamburg, and around the world. And what has continually shaped up over all those years is now visible: Julia is a freelance graphic designer and artist, living in Copenhagen and creating projects that touch people.
In her works, illustration, typography, design, and meaning merge. She works for publishers, institutions, museums, designs books, visual worlds, campaigns – always with a deep sense of aesthetics, clarity, and emotion. Her works are both quiet and powerful. And they carry an unmistakable signature: Julia’s signature.
I had the privilege of accompanying her for a day – through her apartment, her studio, her Copenhagen. We talked about design, about life, about Schloss Torgelow, about family, and about what remains. We drank coffee, ate cinnamon rolls and muesli buns, were creative, and “dressed up.” And throughout the whole time, there was this magic that can’t be explained – only felt.
Julia is a person who doesn’t need to be loud to say great things. Her art tells of longing, change, and beauty in the unremarkable. She has a fine sense of language, form, and feeling. And anyone who speaks with her quickly notices: here is a person who walks her path with great clarity and never forgets what is important.
Thank you for this day.
Dear Julia, you have touched my heart. Your Copenhagen is in my memory a place full of light, peace, and creativity. I am so grateful to you for your openness, your trust, and for letting me into your life – for an afternoon that was much more than a visit.
You show that art is an attitude. And that design can be more than a profession: a gift, an expression, a language.
I will think about this day for a long time. Thank you.
