JULIETA ARCO
About Me.
I'm Julieta Arco, an environmental researcher and visual artist working at the intersection of science and art to uncover new ways of understanding complexity, expressing ideas, and inspiring awareness.
​
Born in Argentina, my journey began in the world of dance and visual arts, nurturing creativity and intuition from a young age. At 18, I entered the world of engineering and research, where I deepened my analytical thinking and disciplined reasoning. Over time, these two paths—art and science—have not only coexisted but evolved together into an integrated practice.​
​​​
Bridging both disciplines, I created DATA MAKEUP —a unique scientific-artistic concept where data becomes story (DataTelling) and makeup becomes insight (MakeupTelling). It’s a fusion of logic and emotion, structure and creativity, designed to awaken new ways of understanding and sparking awareness.
​
Today, I'm driven by a genuine curiosity to measure the artistic process and express the scientific method. This has led me to engage in visual arts, makeup, and data science—different practices that complement each other and shape my multidisciplinary approach.

In the world of science, I’ve spent years generating and analyzing data, applying advanced techniques to uncover patterns, trends, and signals of change. As I’ve deepened my understanding of natural systems, I’ve come to appreciate the power of data—not just to describe the world, but to reveal hidden insights and inspire meaningful action.
In the world of art, I’ve explored a wide range of creative expressions—from dance and performance to visual and conceptual work. This journey has allowed me to understand how art can translate emotions, behaviors, and internal experiences into visible, transformative narratives.
