Julissa Bruno is a Dominican-American Artist currently based in Cleveland. Her work dances through time, exploring her childhood memories, as well as the history of her family on either of her parents' sides. She depicts the memories of her maternal grandmother's home in Santo Domingo in vibrant pinks, adorned with stars and sparkles, and making intuitive marks. In contrast, Bruno uses photo references of her paternal family’s archived photographs, focusing on the topic of their migrancy to New York City in the 1960s and 70s.​​ The recurring character is herself at a young age, often sporting pigtails with bobble hair ties. Her childhood image is a time traveler throughout her ancestry, infantry, and present life. Bruno’s work has been exhibited in Cleveland and New York. Her most recent exhibition was a solo show titled Que Lindos Recuerdos, displayed at Case Western Reserve University in September of 2024. She is currently pursuing a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art (2025).
