Profile Type: artist
Julio Sims brings a unique voice to public art through his ability to combine site-specific elements (architectural, historical, cultural) and add a surprising, often humorous twist where viewers slowly reveal meaning through their physical exploration. This approach mirrors his belief that the sublime, revelatory and divine are often in plain view, yet commonly overlooked. Sims is skilled in utilizing digital and traditional techniques to create artworks ranging from repeating decorative ceramic tile, free-standing metal sculpture, large-scale wall graphics, and hand-painted exterior murals. Sims’ passion for social justice and community are the primary reasons for his involvement in the public realm.
