Giulia Andreani was born in 1985 in Venice (Mestre), Italy. She lives and works in Paris and Montrouge. After training at the Venice School of Fine Arts, Giulia Andreani moved to Paris, where she studied History of Contemporary Art at the Université Paris IV-Sorbonne. An artist-researcher, since 2010 she has kept an “atlas “, a sort of diary made up of a wealth of images and documents: historical archives, still frames, family photos, all of which form the matrix of a work in perpetual ramification. Like a family tree, with some branches dying and others enduring, certain images acquire increasing importance: they are sorted, recomposed and reproduced on canvas, through the subjective filter of “watercolor” painting, in a restricted chromatic field between gray and blue. In this way, Giulia Andreani confronts history with its dependence on images, pointing out the gaps in collective memory.

Created in 2018 by the Occitanie Region in partnership with the French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici, the Price Occitanie - Medici dedicated to young contemporary creation aims to develop the international influence of talent from Occitanie by welcoming them to the Villa Medici for a research and creative stay of several months. Each year, the price attracts around a hundred candidates - visual and visual artists - eager to take advantage of the opportunity offered by a residency at one of Europe's most emblematic art centers, in contact with other artists from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds. Each year, the winner of the Price Occitanie - Medici is selected on the basis of an application and an audition of the shortlisted candidates, each of whom presents his or her project to a jury made up of representatives of the Region, the Director of Villa Medici and associated experts.
