The artist’s themes are drawn from creatures in nature, and the inspiration for his creation originally comes from his childhood experience — growing up in Bolivia, he loved Tarzan movies when he was 5 or 6 years old, and the elephant Tandon was Tarzan’s best friend. Therefore, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hummingbirds, insects and so on are common prototypes in his works. In addition, Julio is fascinated by the creation of human beings, and deeply admires the complex and delicate beauty of human beings. The artist has great respect and gratitude for every creative subject. He thinks that nature has created countless perfect artistic landscapes, and the complex and subtle beauty of nature intoxicates him and brings infinite aura to life.
