The artist went to teach at the Altos de Chavon School of Design in 1983. She and her husband chose to move out of the artist complex into the town of La Romana. They had the opportunity to interact with the regular town community there, and that was very valuable for them. She rode a scooter to work every day, and she crossed the Rio Dulce every day. This painting was painted from the vantage point of the bridge that crossed it. They lived in the second hill on the right. That landscape has completely changed. The hill is now crowded with commercial buildings. The painting represents a moment in time. She has vibrant memories of those years.

"Making art is my calling. Color is the most important element in my art. It carries emotion, form and a sense of place. My palette was formed in the Dominican Republic where I was born.The richness of the Caribbean is at the heart of my images."

Julia Santos Solomon is one of the most successful contemporary Dominican artists on the landscape today. Her work is featured in galleries and private collections throughout the world. The bright colors of the Caribbean landscape are an important vehicle for her expression.

Julia Santos Solomon was classically trained, and studied masters Rembrandt, Vermeer, Goya, and Velasquez. Her years in Italy brought beauty, stimulation, and clarity to her work. Rome revealed a shocking tropical palette, turquoise, pinks, yellows, and greens. Her sense of color and use of gold leaf are informed by her Dominican heritage.

Julia Santos Solomon received her BFA in painting from The Rhode Island School of Design, where she participated in the European Honors Program in Rome, Italy. She studied at Parsons School of Design, Cooper Union, and The Art Students League. She has been a professor at the Parsons School of Design,and she is a Founding Faculty member of Altos de Chavon School of Design in La Romana, DR.
