Julien Heintz
b.1997, Paris, France
Julien Heintz (b. 1997) is a Paris-based painter whose work transforms archival imagery into haunting portraits that blur the line between figuration and abstraction. Inspired by 20th-century documentary films, he captures anonymous faces suspended in time, evoking the fragility of memory. Using handmade gesso and carefully ground pigments, Heintz treats painting as a deeply physical process, where surface, texture, and gesture become as significant as the image itself.
