Juls (b. 1996) is a photographer, actress, and multidisciplinary Spanish artist born in the mountains of La Rioja, now based in Ghent, Belgium.
Her artistic path has taken her across Europe to study and develop her practice in photography, performance and dance.
She began her journey in front of the camera as a model and actress, trained at the Nancy Tuñón i Jordi Oliver School in Barcelona, and later training with professionals likek Lucy Lenox and the InExtremis Stunt Academy. She has performed in films, theatre, music videos and experimental video art.
She graduated in Graphic Design and Motion Graphics from IED Barcelona (Istituto Europeo di Design Barcelona), and Visual Communication studies in Berlin International University of Applied Sciences (BI).
Today, photography is at the centre of her practice, with main focus on birth spaces, ceremonies, and dance events. Her approach is spontaneous, guided by sensitivity and fascination with the emotional truth of a moment.
Her wider artistic practice explores the possibilities of the body, menstrual blood, hair, light and movement, using them both as artistic mediums and as ritual tools for transformation.
After almost a decade of artistic exploration with blood, she found herself drawn deep into the raw magic of birth spaces, a place where many of her interests naturally meet: the body, the taboo, transformation, and the raw beauty of where the most mundane and the most magical overlap.
The care, presence, and ability to hold space that came naturally to her have led her into doula training. She is now developing birth photography and doula support as complementary parts of her work around birth under the name Alumbra series.
