biography

julie lobo is a brazilian creative director based in paris. floating between cinema, photography and graphic design, they have developed an aptitude for image composition and a personal aesthetic shaped by poetry, memory and the unconscious.

through an essayistic approach, they draw from various forms of art and cultural studies to seek depth in experimentalism, crafting expanded and expressive imagery where reality blends with fiction.

they're currently a master's student at ArTeC — a transdisciplinary program held by paris 8 and paris nanterre universities — investigating creation as a form of research while focusing on hiv stigma and intersectionality.

as a freelancer, they’ve collaborated with clients such as the united nations, puma, tnt, johnnie walker, carolina herrera, deezer, the players’ tribune and sports illustrated — as well as many independent artists driven by the urge to tell true stories in dream-like atmospheres.
