Julia Staflund

The self-taught artist from Skellefteå now based in Gothenburg, has found her creative voice in ceramics.

Imperfect Felines presents hand-sculpted stoneware figures in a neo-expressionist style. Each piece is individually shaped and painted, balancing rustic strength with playful elegance.
The series reflects a deeply personal journey: from the childhood memory of longing for an unattainable porcelain cat, to creating her own feline universe where personal history and artistic expression intertwine.

Inspired by tattoo culture, retro aesthetics, and the timeless allure of cats, the works embody imperfection not as a flaw, but as a defining force – a celebration of individuality where the wild and the beautiful coexist.
