The idea of riches was not a motivator for Julian, even when he was born and raised in a poor household. Valencia was not kind to his family when it came to finances and health. A part of his childhood is veiled in darkness, stemming from the death of his older sister. His mother turned to her Catholic faith while his father turned to lashing out, boiling over into Julian’s teens when he was found to have been involved with another boy.
He was sixteen when he left home, turning to America and never looking back. NYC grew to be a place he could look on with more fondness, even if the path was rough at first. The taste of freedom was worth it, though, expressing himself through paintings, even if they were sprawled out on the side of buildings.
In a few years, he was within the artist circles, receiving commissions, making it into a small gallery all on his own. It was during this time in his life that he was able to meet Luis, a person he would grow to not only be a Muse but a close friend. If Luis had not already been in a bond with another artist, it would have been an easy match, but Luis was not blessed with good fortune in the end.
