Juliana has recently joined the collection of the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo by participating in the exhibition Enciclopédia Negra. The artist has been producing works in video, painting, performance, photography and multimedia, as well as investigating the blue color of the Clitória Ternátea flower as a possibility of color in the process of expanding the senses.

Her first national solo exhibition was at the Season of Projects of Paço das Artes in 2019. She was awarded third place at the 16th Visual Arts Salon of Ubatuba.
