About
Julien Sunyé, born in Amsterdam to a Dutch mother and French father, draws profound inspiration from his summers in southern France and daily experiences in northern Holland. His photography explores the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, juxtaposing human vulnerability with landscapes scarred by industrialization and conflict.
Influenced by existential and humanist thinkers like Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and humanist photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, Sunyé's work delves into themes of resilience and societal challenges such as climate change. Employing both analog and digital mediums, he captures detailed textures, emotions and landscapes.
Sunyé's artistic vision, rooted in poetic observation, invites viewers to contemplate the profound connections between humanity and the natural world. His introspective and calm approach distinguishes him amidst the noise of contemporary visual culture, offering space for quiet reflection.
Through his photography, he reveals the sublime in the simplicity of existence. His images capture moments where the natural elements—wind, sun, and the scent of flowers—interact with the human body, evoking intimacy and eroticism that enrich his portrayal of the human experience.
