Julien Pacaud is a renowed digital collage artist and illustrator, born in 1972, living and working in Paris, France. Self-taught artist, he began experimenting with digital collage in the early 2000s after studying cinema at the École Louis Lumière. In parallel to his personal creations, he has also been working as an illustrator for the press, publishing, advertising and the music industry.

Favoring instinct and daydreaming, Julien Pacaud composes surreal digital collages from old photos patiently collected, then manipulated and assembled. The software replaces the scissors and the glue, and brings him other possibilities to organize the chaos. His images are as many opportunities to fall into a parallel universe (or "perpendicular dream") in which the past and the future, the improbable and the impossible, the intimate and the cosmic collide.

Pacaud recently began his journey in web3 and will progressively make his massive amount of collage artworks available as NFTs.
