Once Upon A Time - Julika Pettigrew

About

One Upon a Time unfolds with a sense of calm progression. Layered acrylic and pastel marks guide the eye upward through shifting tones of celadon, deep navy, moss green and soft white. Pettigrew’s buffed cold-wax finish gives the surface a beautifully tactile, stone-like texture.

Her architectural background is present in the confident spatial divisions, yet the work breathes with organic movement. The composition feels like a landscape in transition or a metaphor for steady forward motion, each shape supporting the next.

With recent exhibitions with the Dulwich Festival Artists’ Open House and features across London’s independent art scene, Pettigrew’s work continues to attract attention from those drawn to contemporary abstraction. One Step at a Time is a serene, uplifting piece—ideal for those seeking a refined, emotionally grounded artwork with growing provenance.
