Spanish term or phrase: apertura de los capítulo
A proposal for an artist's book (Argentina)

Para las aperturas de los capítulos se busca una imagen lateral que funcione como clave de entrada, un indicio que se devela con el desarrollo del trabajo en las páginas sucesivas.

Also

Utilizamos los estructuras editoriales clásicas (indice, aperturas de capítulo, separadores, portada) como oportunidades para generar pausas, vacíos, repeticiones con la intención de crear un impacto perceptivo.

This seems like more than a chapter heading which, to me, only refers to text, but I am not sure if the term "chapter openings" or "opening of chapter" is right (the Internet is not particularly helpful on this).

Thanks!

chapter headpiece
Explanation:
If you want a technical term, this is it. A headpiece is any illustration placed at the start of a chapter or section of a book or manuscript; an illustration at the end is called a tailpiece. It can be just a little ornament, or a full-scale picture.

"HEADPIECE = An ornament or vignette at the start of a chapter."
