French contemporary artist exploring identity, emotion and perception through multiple visual languages. From immersive portraits to sculptural compositions, Julien Durix creates works that blur the line between reality and imagination.
Each face is a journey. Portraits and landscapes become inseparable. Mountains, deserts and oceans shape the features, while entire worlds are hidden within the gaze. More than portraits, these works explore the deep connection between identity and environment.

His monumental paintbrush sculptures, a format entirely unique to his practice and unlike anything else in contemporary art, capture the raw spontaneity of creation. Alongside powerful animal figures, each piece suspends a moment between creation and disappearance. A dialogue between material, gesture and time.

Working DayA unique technique built from thousands of hand-painted silk roses. Each artwork is constructed on a sculptural surface where petals replace the traditional canvas. The image emerges through depth, light and perspective, constantly evolving depending on the viewer's position. A fragile yet powerful balance between softness and intensity, where the artwork seems to breathe.

Paris · VitrineEvery original work is entirely hand-painted. No digital process, no shortcuts. Only time, precision and intention. Each piece is built layer after layer, allowing colors and textures to fully emerge. The studio is where intuition meets discipline, and where each artwork takes its final form.
Over 10 years of international exhibitions. And the journey is only beginning.
