Johanne Licard

An illustrator based in the Nantes countryside, Johanne Licard first studied cinema before turning to drawing. Something of this remains in her images, which focus on moods and suspended moments: when the eyes close, the light changes, the shadows lengthen… She seeks to create warm, evocative illustrations that encourage us to take a step aside.

Her sources of inspiration are nature, bodies, sensuality, and also the vintage aesthetic of the 1960s and 1970s.

She also works freelance for the press, publishing and advertising.
