Agathe Meunier is an illustrator and risographer from Strasbourg. After studying at the Haute école des arts du Rhin, she joined the riso Super Banco printing studio in Brest. Both an artist and a technician, she enjoys mastering every stage, from photography to printing. An experienced hiker, she finds her inspiration in the landscapes around her, on the customs paths of Brittany or in the mountains during her periods as a warden in a refuge in the Vanoise.

Agathe Meunier makes skilful use of the limited number of colours available in risography, erasing the details of her drawings to make room for the chromatic sensations that bring us peace and joy.

Émilie Bernstein, aka EMS, graduated in fashion design in 2014 and spent eleven years in fashion before making a 360° turn to devote herself fully to illustration.

Originally from the Drôme, a sunny region bursting with flavoursome fruit and vegetables, she draws her inspiration from local produce, gourmet recipes and everyday scenes.

Her work, vibrant with colour and joy, comes to life on a variety of media: the iPad for her posters, cards and personalised illustrations, acrylics for her wall murals, and pencil for her sketchbook.

A lover of good food, wine, life, family and friends, she composes her works like a fine table: with generosity and warmth.

Her stories are peopled with shapes, words and textures that she collects as she experiments, to tell the story of her relationship with life with humour and poetry. Her images link dream and reality, creating a space of peace and contemplation, a tribute to the balance between strength and sensitivity.

She creates this delicate landscape through a series of projects with the press, agencies and a variety of clients in France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Irina Pavlova aka Iruksson is a Franco-Russian illustrator and graphic designer based in Paris. After seven years as a freelance graphic and motion designer, she began developing her interest in illustration in 2019.

Marie Nortier lives and works in Besançon. Her training as an architect informs her current artistic practice and enriches her representation of space and atmosphere. She uses painting and drawing to represent places that are uninhabited, but which retain traces, memories and sensitive testimonies.

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.

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 three years at the École Estienne, where she discovered and studied printmaking and engraving techniques, Alix took a year off to try her hand at various printing techniques, from etching to wallpaper. She then joined the Paris Print Club, where she further developed her engraving techniques and practised illustration while cultivating an interest in art history, music and literature. Her taste for drawing and colour combine to attempt to transcribe a universe where forms and a sensitivity to life intermingle, all tinged with a slight, unacknowledged obsession with mysticism.

Jürg Lindenberger works as a freelance illustrator. He also enjoys being outdoors with his family, surfing on wooden bellyboards, skating on tiny concrete bowls, making music and drinking tea.

Stylised characters, four or five colours, white backgrounds… Aurore Petit knows how to get to the heart of the matter in just a few strokes. Her images play with the most universal symbols to powerfully awaken the imagination.

Aurore Petit graduated from the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts in 2006. She lives and works in Nantes.

“I’m a French illustrator based in Lyon. After studying graphic design at Duperré and type design at Estienne in Paris, I worked for several years as a graphic designer and type design teacher.

I felt the need to travel to parallel lands by returning to drawing and painting, until this became my main activity. Today, my gouache work combines colourful, lush landscapes where imaginary architecture and dreamlike figures from everyday life coexist.

I combine organic forms with geometric shapes, paying particular attention to detail and pattern.
Influenced by my travels and my childhood on Réunion Island, my complex and joyful images are an invitation to escape and daydream, to safe and intimate places. They fit in perfectly with interior design, travel editorial and packaging design.”
