I had the honour of creating the master illustration for the Being Human festival campaign. It was used on posters, goodies and all the marketing materials, print and digital. I decided to embrace the huge variety of subjects and events, creating a happy and inclusive crowd, demystifying human science and showing that learning can be a place of fun for everyone. The illustration is composed of many different scenes that can be separated and used separately to illustrate a particular subject on social media for example. The crowd working as a modular illustration could also be composed in different ways to accommodate any format of the campaign's marketing materials

About the festival:

Each November, Being Human festival presents hundreds of free events across the UK and beyond. The festival explores the ways in which the humanities enable us to interpret the past, understand the present and imagine the future. From archaeology to radical new thinking in literature and art; from socio-political breakthroughs to the most incredible human’s inventions, the festival is about celebrating that most remarkable thing: Being Human.

This illustration project was Highly commended by the jury at the AOI world Illustration award 2023

Nuttree is a small startup based in Marseille that produces organic and healthy energy balls.

New non fiction children book for Gallimard. The book is a journey trough the incredible life of Rosa Bonheur. Her remarkable talent, unconventional lifestyle, and unyielding determination to prove that genius has no gender challenged societal norms. 

I highlighted the beauty of nature throughout the book, which was central to Bonheur's work. I used vibrant colors to bring a contemporary feel to her classic subjects, ensuring that each scene burst with life. I aimed to honor Bonheur's legacy while making her subjects and life accessible and engaging for today's readers.

I've had the absolute pleasure of diving headfirst into the world of the 2022 Bordeaux Millesimal for Figaro magazine! The series of illustrations are a love letter to the art of winemaking and celebrate the aromas what makes the 2022 Bordeaux Millesimal one of the very best.

Each illustration needed to represent a category of wine, highlighting its flavors and unique characteristics of this particular millesimal. Additionally, the client wanted to depict the winemaking process. To achieve this, I emphasized the significance of the aromas and particularities by illustrating the flavours on a large scale alongside winemakers engaged in various stages of their work. I differentiated the wine categories by using distinct color palettes inspired by their flavors.

This illustration is a celebration of the New Year through the lens of nature and bursts of colours! This digital card captures the essence of renewal and optimism as we bid farewell to the old and embrace the promise of a fresh start. Wishing everyone a colourful and joyous New Year ahead!

New wallpaper design inspired by Sri Lankan folk tales.

I recently travelled to Sri Lanka. From my experience being born and raised in the city, my relationship to nature has always been limited to having plants in pots and a cat on the sofa. From my first footstep on Sri Lanka’s floor, I discovered a world living the opposite, were humans were living with and within a living and flourishing nature, with an incredible biodiversity that even my imagination of what paradise could look like couldn’t match. Wild elephants crossing the road, birds everywhere, monkeys playing at my feet, all sorts of flora and fauna everywhere living around me.  

For this wallpaper I decided to take inspiration from this wonderful experience and from a series of Sri Lankan folk tales.

The wallpaper exists in four different colour schemes.

In the heart of Soho in London stands the Handel & Hendrix House. This heritage house was home to the two iconic musicians in the past and is now a museum where you can visit the apartments of those two major figures of Music. To celebrate their story the museum wanted to create an activity book that would be a learning tool for school children. I created a range of detailed Illustrations for the booklet activities, taking the children through their lives, from moving to London for the first time to becoming the legendary musicians we know now.

The Nightingale Café’s namesake was a café located on the Biggin Hill airfield during the Second World War. The Café was a normal civilian café, which, when war was declared, decided to become part of the RAF enclave at Biggin Hill. The café owners and their children, from that moment on, had a unique experience of war at Biggin Hill.  

Today the Nightingale café is part of the Biggin Hill Memorial Museum and the museum team wanted to honour its great historic significance by commissioning an illustration for one of the café’s walls.

This mural reflects the stories of Geoff, the elder child who shared his incredible memories with me.

The illustration compiles the stories of this unique café, part of the military zone but nonetheless a place of camaraderie and humanity, a place where pilots and soldiers from all horizons could grab a short instant of peace in this time of war.

This illustration project was Highly commended by the jury at the AOI world Illustration award 2019.
