MEET THE ARTIST
I'm Justine Renzullo, a self-taught artist passionate about painting legends and icons. My work honors those who have followed their hearts to discover their true purpose. With a background in music and special effects makeup, I add a modern flair to contemporary art, using vibrant colors and rich textures in each piece. My art goes beyond depicting these figures; it invites everyone to acknowledge and celebrate their own unique gifts. Through my paintings, I aspire to inspire others to embrace the legend they were born to be.
MY STORY
My journey is deeply rooted in a passion for music, film, and the transformative art of special effects makeup. I began my career in the music industry, where I studied music performance and honed my skills on the electric guitar while collaborating with various artists across Perth. This vibrant music scene instilled in me a profound appreciation for music history and a deep connection to my musical icons.
Working alongside my filmmaker brother further enriched my experience, fostering a love for special effects makeup and prop artistry. I earned a diploma in special effects makeup and collaborated with numerous independent filmmakers. This intersection of film and music has become the foundation of my art business.
Inspired by my diverse background and multifaceted passions, I envisioned a creative space where my talents in painting, special effects makeup, and prop artistry converge to produce artworks that transcend traditional boundaries.
MY MISSION
I have a profound passion for painting portraits of iconic legends. Why, you may wonder? Because these legends are more than just figures; they are individuals who chose to follow their hearts. At a pivotal moment in their lives, they discovered what truly makes them feel alive—their true purpose. Instead of sidelining their gifts, they embraced them and allowed them to shine.
I believe that each of us has something within that ignites our soul, and we all possess unique talents that the world needs to see. So, why do I paint legends? It’s an invitation for everyone to embrace and step into the LEGEND they were born to be!
