Hathors Tribe: At what age did you have an interest in art, and when did you first realize you would be an artist?
Julia Surba: I guess I was born so. It´s my nature. I´m sure that everyone is an artist, but not everybody realize the potential.

Hathors Tribe: Do you plan out your work before you do it, or does it evolve organically?
Julia Surba: It depends... Some works are realizations of my dreams, some I think out before some are done just by following the touch of the moment...

Hathors Tribe: Is there a mental process? do you have a question to ask or answer?
Julia Surba: My pictures are always stories, may be somebody find in them answers or questions.

Hathors Tribe: If you have had formal training, do you feel your educational process hindered your artistic expression in anyway?

Hathors Tribe: If so, do you feel that art can be a kind of therapy?
Julia Surba: Better to say meditation.

Hathors Tribe: What is your opinion about the current art movements which focus on dark imagery?
Julia Surba: Some of the artists and their art work are very talented and impressive, but I prefer don´t to look at their art to much, because I don´t want to support such world picture. It´s deformed and shows a gloat about being deformed.

Hathors Tribe: Do you make art for yourself, or do you have a market in mind?
Julia Surba: This question is like: "are you black or are you white?" I´m colored:) I do only what I like, creative process is always a big joy for me and I´m also happy when somebody wants to buy what I have created.

Hathors Tribe: Do you believe that art has a higher purpose, other than to decorate a room?
Julia Surba: To decorate a room is a secondary purpose which has replaced the original one. I think that art should be inseparable from dayly life, be a part of it, has practical and religious use.

Hathors Tribe: If you could meet any artist from the past who would it be?
Julia Surba: Of course aborigines of Ancient Kuzhebar!

Hathors Tribe: In what way do you want to be remembered?
Julia Surba: I ´ve never thought about. First I want don´t lose myself.
