Julien Delval

Through fantastical landscapes and imaginary creatures, Julien Delval brings to life dreamlike worlds of breathtaking beauty. His imagination unfolds in grand scenes inspired by classical painting: floating palaces, storm-tossed seas, fantastical forests and winged creatures evoke the artworks of Brueghel, Waterhouse, Turner, Rubens and Bosch. His works celebrate grandiose natural landscapes of extraordinary dimensions and forms, inviting us to reflect on our relationship with the world, time and nature.

To preserve your works on paper, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the mediums used. Paintings made with pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing. Works containing watercolor are particularly sensitive to light, unlike gouache and acrylic.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.
