Julieta Rocha (b.1991) is a Portuguese visual artist and illustrator born in the Azores islands.

Infinitely interested in drawing, she explores concepts of duality, repetition, serialisation, categorisation, mapping, and archiving in her work that draws from personal and collective memory, mythology, botany, geology, and the physicality of drawing itself — often through graphite, printmaking, and small-scale publications. She works as a language teacher, illustrator, and visual artist.

Fine Arts graduate at the University of Oporto, Portugal.

Guest student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Drawing student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Czech Republic.
