Biography

After graduated in cinema, studies during which Julia Genet tried her hand at photography to exercise her framing skill, she gradually reoriented herself towards this new medium which brought her freedom and independence.

She follows several workshops with Claudine Doury and Paolo Verzone, confirming her taste for portraiture. In 2016, selected by Dazed and Confused magazine, she participated in the If You Leave Showcase presented in New York and Berlin.

At the same time, Julia learns marbling, a painting technique on water, which she will modernize in her approach and patterns in her art & craft studio : Tomàs Avinent atelier.

In her constant search for the most appropriate medium to translate her artistic expression, she realized that the medium is only a language that she can invented to create her own words.
From then on, without limits in her technical approach, Julia Genet mixes photography, Japanese painting, encaustic and plaster, transposing her life experience and emotion, beyond language.

In addition to her personal practice, she also works on commissions. So far, her work has been published in Télérama, Galimard and La Croix (french magazines).

She recognizes herself in Soulage's words: 

"It's what I do that reveals what I'm looking for."
