Born in Benin, Julien Sinzogan developed a practice that bridges his West African heritage with his long-term residence in Paris, France. His artistic formation is characterized by a transition from detailed monochrome pen and ink work to compositions incorporating full-color scenes.

His signature work frequently addresses the legacy of the Atlantic Slave Trade, specifically focusing on Benin's historical role as a major trading post. Through his graphic techniques, he visualizes the intersection of historical trauma and cultural memory.

Sinzogan has established a significant exhibition history across both Europe and Africa, gaining recognition for his thematic focus on the maritime history of the slave trade and its enduring influence on contemporary identity.
