Julia Curyło (born 1986 in Warsaw) is a Polish painter and art critic who creates oil paintings and art installations. She is best known for her 2010 large-scale mural titled Lambs of God, created at the Marymont metro station in Warsaw, which caused controversy and brought the artist publicity. Between 2011 and 2016, her work has been displayed at eight individual exhibitions.

In 2009, she graduated with honors from the Painting Faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she studied under Professor Leon Tarasewicz, and from the public art studio led by Professor Mirosław Duchowski.

In September and November 2009, her installation Tulipany (Tulips) was displayed at Hoover Square on Krakowskie Przedmieście Street in Warsaw (later also in Poznań and Katowice). In November 2010, she received the Grand Prix from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, the award from the BWA City Gallery in Bydgoszcz, and was also the winner of the Grand Prix at the 20th National Review of Young Painting "Promocje 2010" in Legnica. In 2011, she was nominated for the Eugeniusz Geppert Competition.
