Early Morning Energy - Julika Pettigrew

About

Early Morning Energy is an abstraction that captures the clarity, stillness, and subtle charge of a day just beginning. Pettigrew layers acrylic paint and pastels beneath her signature buffed cold-wax finish, creating a surface that feels both atmospheric and tactile.

Gentle arcs and fine linear marks float across the surface, echoing the slow stirring of morning movement. Pettigrew’s background in interior architecture is evident in the composition’s confident spatial balance, while her instinct for expressive mark-making adds nuance and emotional depth.

With exhibitions including the Dulwich Festival Artists’ Open House and features within London’s growing independent art scene, Pettigrew design-informed practice continues to grow. Early Morning Energy is a refined and uplifting acquisition—perfect for interiors drawn to contemporary work.
