A graduate of the Haute école des arts du Rhin, La Jeanette is an illustrator who lives in the heart of the Auvergne mountains. She works as much for the press and brands as for children’s publishing, drawing from a world full of poetry and gentleness. Halfway between dream and reality, she likes to draw dreamlike worlds full of colour.

Born in 1982, Laurent Moreau is a graduate of the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. He is a regular contributor to the French and international press(Revue XXI, New York Times) and also designs show posters. When he creates, Laurent Moreau seeks spontaneity and enjoys a physical relationship with paper, which is why he usually paints with gouache.

After studying at Auguste Renoir and Olivier de Serre, training as a jeweller and a spell in Haute Couture, Lil Sire turned to illustration. Working mainly in gouache, she draws her inspiration from a variety of artistic currents, such as art nouveau and Japanese prints. Her dreamlike, colourful world takes viewers into a poetic imagination, populated by animals of all kinds, where nature reigns supreme.

An artist with a sparkling imagination, Limistic (whose real name is Noémie Hay) initially studied graphic design and art direction in Paris before following her passion for illustration. She explores a variety of media and is keen to apply her creativity to different techniques such as painting and ceramics, although digital art remains her medium of choice. Her joyful world of vibrant colours is mainly inspired by nature and the wonder of everyday life; it contains an element of carefree spirit and poetic reverie, and remains deliberately positive. She transforms moments from her life and her outings into rich scenes featuring flower-filled landscapes and still lifes, in which objects sit alongside fruit and other delicacies in delightful patchworks.

A 2016 graduate of the Émile Cohl school, Lola Penicaud is an artist from Lyon who divides her time between illustration and animated film. She has also set up an association in the Jura region of France, where she runs cultural and artistic initiatives for disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Her drawings, with their fine lines and soft colours, are inhabited by characters who are always on the move. Somewhere between poetry and absurdity, her world is fuelled by stories about society and the people she meets.

Maguelone is an illustrator and graduate of the École Estienne ESAIG in Paris. After spending time at the Atelier de Sèvres, she now lives and works in Provence in the Luberon region. She creates illustrations using ink, gouache, pencil and pastels. Her colours are vivid, not always realistic, but always with a fine attention to detail.

A graduate of the Ecole Pivaut in illustration and 2D animation, Mariana David is a children’s illustrator who lives and works in Dijon. While she loves to play with traditional techniques (watercolour, gouache, linocut, etc.), she also enjoys digital creation. Her gentle, poetic world is inspired by nature and the world’s cultural riches, always with a fantastical twist where dragons burst into flames, cats dance and young women ride birds.

After a degree in Fine Arts, Marine Coutroutsios worked as a sculptor, interior architect and paper designer. In 2017, after several years in Australia where the exoticism of nature rekindled her bond with living things, she settled near the mountains in Grenoble and began her illustration business. In a delicate, dreamlike style, she creates mysterious, bewitching atmospheres and populates her images with vegetation and animals. Today, she regularly illustrates for the press and children’s publishing.

Vassilis Koutsogiannis is a Greek illustrator who lives and works in Athens. After studying architecture, he worked in Paris as an exhibition designer, but his passion for the visual arts caught up with him. He then turned to illustration. Since then, he has worked on a wide range of projects, specialising in children’s books. His illustrations plunge us into a colourful fantasy world, where magic and reality constantly interact.
