About my work
My work, as an illustrator, is based on conceiving books. I consider myself as an author-illustrator because I draw the stories I write, taking into account the technique, the framing, the size, the text etc. I also work a lot on the relationship between text and images. My stories are often based on a two-level narration, with a text that does not tell what the pictures show.
Something that is singular and often occurring in my work, is the emphasize I put in the setting I imagine. In facts, the sets I create are, in some ways, more important than the characters I design. I am very interested in creating some curious locations with very special atmosphere.
Keen on cinema, I give in my work several winks to the seventh art. I conceive cinematographic images with sometimes surprising angles of view. I am also wild about literature and I am especially interested with design and American history.
