Born in 1985 in Montreal, the son of an Ethiopian father and Scottish, Irish and French mother, drawing has been a constant influence on Julian Yohannes's identity and the way he sees the world. Self-taught, his influences include Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, J.D. Leyendecker, Alphonse Mucha, Norman Rockwell, Vivian Maier, Yousuf Karsh and Alex Produkt, however it is the human condition that continues to play the most significant role in shaping his art and his understanding of how art is felt.

A rich balance of organic and geometric patterns that dance around his characters and harmonize a visual narrative owned only by the viewer, or an elderly woman whose wrinkled face tells a million stories of hardship, revealing an inner strength found only in survival—his artwork has one purpose: to make the viewer feel that which they cannot speak or hold.
