About Me
It was written in The Little Prince that “all grown-ups were once children... but only a few of them remember it.”
I hope to be that few.
In creating my art, I try to reconsider our world, the things we do and see every day, from a child's view.
I enjoy creating children’s illustrations and at the same time greatly admire the old masterpieces of traditional fine arts. Thus my work is a blend of both.
My illustrations have the style and narratives of kid literature together with the color and techniques of symbolism and Impressionism periods.
I find this unique combination surprisingly fitting to my story as they are sometimes absurd with a saturated color palette that looks just like a child's pick on color.
