Adela Julevic was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. "I've been drawing ever since I was a child but it is only recently that I started finding my own style. One of the main ideas that I like to focus on when I create is imperfection, because I believe imperfections are beautiful. I explore themes of eroticism and existentialism and find beauty/humor in hopelessness. I pull a lot of inspiration from music, dreams, memories, and everyday experiences." @aartdellaa https://della.cargo.site
