Artistic background

Julija Dzogaz – Painter, Louvre Copyist, and Explorer of Forms and Opposites

Julija Dzogaz is a painter and copyist at the Louvre, where she meticulously reproduces 19th-century French masterpieces. Her current work focuses on Dellaporte’s La Petite Collation, a painting she recreates with a profound understanding of technique, form, and color. This role highlights her dedication to preserving classical artistry while simultaneously carving her path as a contemporary artist.

Her artistic journey began at the School of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where over a decade of rigorous training honed her mastery of acrylics, oils, watercolors, pastels, and sculpture. These early experiences cultivated her sensitivity to texture, light, and composition, forming the foundation for her exploration of diverse landscapes—human, natural, and abstract.

With advanced degrees in architecture from the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade and ENSA Paris-Belleville, Julija bridges her expertise in spatial design with her passion for painting. Her artworks, such as Sensible Landscapes, delve into the coexistence of opposites—softness and structure, fluidity and solidity, light and shadow. Inspired by the intricate forms of the human body, the organic patterns of nature, and the abstraction of thought, her pieces use vibrant colors and fluid shapes to evoke a sense of balance and harmony.

Julija’s artistic practice extends into scenography, further enriching her exploration of space and form. In 2024, she unveiled Horizons Transcendants at Nuit Blanche in Paris, an immersive installation that merged painting, architecture, and video mapping. This interdisciplinary project invited audiences to engage with art as a dynamic, multisensory experience, breaking the boundaries between traditional and digital media.

Today, Julija continues to explore the interplay between fine art, architecture, and scenography, crafting works that celebrate the authenticity and interconnectedness of forms. Her art invites viewers to reflect on the dualities of existence—connection and isolation, fragility and strength—and to discover beauty in the harmony of contrasts.
