aka. Mac Makes, Painting, Illustration
“I explore that in-between space where attraction and discomfort exist at the same time. Is it gross or is it beautiful?”

Mackenzie Iuliano is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Vaughan, Ontario. Working primarily in painting and illustration, her practice explores themes of discomfort, emotional tension, horror, gore, and admiration. Her work is rooted in personal experience and invites open interpretation, often balancing unsettling, imagery with visual compelling qualities.
