Julia Nascimento is a Brazilian illustrator and cartoonist with art, fashion, and research backgrounds. Employing a multidisciplinary and multicultural approach to her work, she is passionate about autobiographical narratives and collaborations.

While living in Japan for almost a decade she pursued postgraduate studies in fashion and worked in different sectors of the fashion industry. In 2017 she launched her career in illustration and comics, and in 2019, she relocated to Sweden, where she currently lives.

Her first book, A Perfect Place to Call Home, is a collection of visual narratives about her experiences and reflections of life in different places as a foreigner. Julia’s work has been published in books and periodicals around the world and, in 2026, one of her comics became part of the permanent exhibition Existence in the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg.
