A Monograph

Monograph dedicated to the artist Julien Delval, featuring a selection of paintings and illustrations on themes related to imaginary world and fantasy.

Julien Delval, born in 1972, studied fine art and began his career as an illustrator for role-playing company Multisim. The connections he made at the firm led to the realization of numerous bookcovers for different publishing houses.

Today, after working in comics, he works again in the gaming sector, mainly with Days of Wonder, and spends time devoted to his personal art work, sponsored by the Daniel Maghen Gallery.

He specializes in creating vivid and emotional scenes  that are at once both gripping and sensitive.  His inspiration for these ancient worlds, mythological characters and fantasy come from both classical painting and the imagery of the 20th century.

This monograph is a magnificent showcase of his paintings and illustrations, filled with pages alive with haunting emotion and spectacularly drawn landscapes, giving the viewer the feeling of actually being in the scene.  With many of the original pieces being of an imposing size, one to two meters and larger, the book distributes  these works across adjacent pages to highlight all the richness and detail found in the originals.
