Born in 1991, Julia Haumont lives and works in Paris. Between 2009 and 2011, she specialized in textile work at the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. In 2012, she joined the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she trained in the studio of Jean-Michel Alberola and deepened her knowledge of ceramics under the guidance of Claude Dumas.
The artist favors mediums rooted in craftsmanship, such as earthenware, textiles, and glass, which reflect her personal history while embodying a slow temporality, in contrast to the acceleration of contemporary times. Her life-sized sculptures of young girls engage in dialogue with abstract textile compositions, creating an immersive universe that invites the viewer to step inside. Her hybrid installations blend strength and delicacy, figuration and abstraction. This duality is also evident in her earthenware figures, whose apparent innocence is sometimes contrasted by bold, languid postures, as well as in her textile compositions, where sequins, beads, and scraps coexist harmoniously.
