Manon Diemer

Also known by the pseudonym Bamboulino, Manon Diemer is an artist and illustrator based in La Rochelle. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Lyon in graphic design, then of the Gobelins in Paris in motion design, she worked for four years in an agency before devoting herself entirely to illustration. Her drawing practice is rich in a multitude of tools and techniques, seeking to best adapt the subject to the medium. With a particular sense of framing derived from her photographic practice, she captures singular and representative elements of nature or architecture, inspired by the natural sciences, travel and ecological issues. She then articulates traces of reality in an imaginary world that is imbued with mystery and fantasy.
