Julius Karoubi (b. 1998, Norway, lives and works in Oslo) creates unique mosaic pieces that blend traditional techniques with contemporary themes. His work often incorporates found objects and post-consumer packaging, reflecting a collage-like approach that resonates with his personal and cultural heritage. His art transforms everyday items into something profoundly new and meaningful, exploring questions around culture, tradition, history, and materiality through his urban, archaeological practice.
