Julia Peirone was born 1973 in Argentina. She lives and works in Stockholm.
Since her debut at the turn of the century, Julia Peirone’s visual world is chiefly populated by girls or young women. Peirones series mirror aspects of vulnerability, shame, and sexuality in a time that is heavily influenced by social media and their affects on the creation of identities. The artist is looking for the gap between reality and construction.

Peirone is represented in many prestigious collections, such as Moderna Museet, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Kiasma, Finland, Göteborgs konstmuseum and Stenersenmuseet. Exhibitions include Moderna Museet, Artipelag, Norrtälje Konsthall, Göteborgs konstmuseum, Växjö Konsthall, Kristianstad konsthall and more.
