Client: La Fondation des Femmes

La Fondation des Femmes commissioned me to create a visual for @alertesfeministes - a coalition of over 60 French feminist associations - to rally the French public. The aim was to unite and mobilize the population to take to the streets on June 23, 2023, and to stand against the far right by voting en masse for liberation and freedom for all.

The illustration and logo were primarily used for digital communication, especially on social media.

2023 - 2024

Digital drawing on Procreate.

Profoundly moved and distressed by the ongoing violence in Gaza and Palestine, I felt compelled to create powerful illustrations and designs to inspire people to mobilize, protest, demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to genocide, occupation, and apartheid.

These creations have been featured on signs, t-shirts, and widely reshared on social media across the globe. The profit of the sales of t-shirts are being donated to MAP.

CLIENT: FEDRIGONI PAPER

2022

My take on the 26th of October for Fedrigoni 365 calendar - 2022 edition.

Scorpio season, water sign. A voluptuous Scorpio woman stands in all her beauty and power behind her non-binary friend casting the peace sign, also the number 2.
Her friend, sitting on a rock, offers the Scorpio constellation, also representing here the number 6.
Together, they make the number 26. They embody peace, freedom, inclusivity, body positivity, authenticity and love.

I love this talented artist, beautiful and stylish woman so I decided to draw her. (I did have a happy dance when she liked it and shared it on Instagram)
Originally created as a still image on Procreate, I thought she’d be even cooler with an animation (using Procreate too)

2019
Client: AllBright Academy - AllBright
Art Direction: SeeThrough Studio

I was asked to create an illustration for a campaign advertising a 10-week digital programme for women who want to smash the glass ceiling or do it for themselves.

The campaign was launched online, in magazines and on billboards in the main train stations in London (Waterloo, Paddington, Waterloo, King's Cross, Victoria, London Bridge…)

I like to strip things down to make them more powerful.

2019
Client: Chateau de Fontenay

I was asked to create new label designs for two different white wines: Le Secret and Le Sauvignon.

I created everything, the illustration and the layout, and provided the client with a ready to print file. They embossed the illustrations and name of the wine on a lovely textured paper. Gorgeous result.

NOTE: I included below alternative version of the illustration that was not chosen by the client but that I find really good too.

(EN) Wine descriptions:
• Le Sauvignon
An elegant wine, fine and pedigreed. Aromas of white flowers and citrus. Lively and fruity with a beautiful crystal clear body.
• Le Secret
complex aromas of yellow fruits, dry fruits, citrus and white flowers. It’s a lively, fruity wine with a full-bodied palate in a beautiful gold robe.

(FR) Decriptif des vins
• Le Sauvignon (pure Sauvignon)
Nez fin et Racé avec des arômes de fleurs blanches et agrumes. Vif et fruité en bouche avec une jolie robe cristalline
• Le Secret (Chenin majoritaire et Chardonnay)
Des arômes complexes de fruits jaunes, de fruits secs, d’agrumes et de fleurs blanches…Un bel équilibre entre vivacité et rondeur avec une belle robe dorée.

2017-2021
Client: Aurore Casanova Champagne

The client, based in Champagne, France, approached me to create new labels for her wine and champagne collection (organic and using biodinamy).

She specifically came to me for my minimalist, bold and feminine lines. As an ex-professional ballet dancer, she wanted something poetic and delicate yet with power and character.

I also created the 4 informative symbols for the back label.

A beautiful collaboration between women entrepreneurs, a maker and an artist. As I can see on Instagram, her clients all over the world seem to really enjoy, not only the taste of her wines (they are so good) but also the illustrated labels.

Note: one of the design was printed with silver foil so I hired a brilliant artworker [Flee James] to create the white plate and put the label together, ready to print.

I created this drawing a couple of years ago to celebrate LOVE.
I wrote Love is Love in arabic (pronouced “alhub hu alhub”)

I recently animated my illustration using the rainbow colours and LGBTQ flag to explicitly celebrate Love between people across all identifications and sexual orientations.

FEEL THE GAP is a collective art project curated by the creative agency ANIMA London to support the Genesis cinema - one of the many businesses highly affected by the pandemic and lockdown. The idea was to turn the social distancing markers into creative canvas that bring us together.

24 original pieces by 10 artists.

Client: Cécile & Jean-Baptiste

I created this invite for Cecile and Jean-Baptiste, a lovely French couple getting married in Trouville, France. They love the beaches of the area with their iconic tents and colourful umbrellas. They wanted something joyful, simple and not too cheesy. Something unique that represents them.

I also created the wedding program on the back of the illustration, but won’t share it on here to respect their privacy.

The clients were very happy with the result, sent them out and received many positive feedbacks.

The first work is a simple and fun animation of a banana ripening and rotting… in bright colours. You will see, I am sure, the Pop Art influence and more specifically the banana that Andy Warhol created for the debut album of The Velvet Underground & Nico <3

The second artwork is a still watercolour painting that I created when travelling in the Philippines. They had the most delicious mini bananas. Have you ever tasted them?

2021

I created illustrations for the launch of Soumati Studio on Patreon. I thought it would be a lovely and effective way to illustrate the memberships that I offer and show people how much they would receive every month… for the price of 1, 3 or 6 coffees!

I started with the artwork with a plain cream background. The minimalism and balanced red apple evokes the stillness and simplicity of a moment in time.

And then, I wanted colours and movement, to dance and swirl around them. As if you closed your eyes in the moment to see the world in colour.

My take on Stella McCartney’s latest innovative collection campaign: the “world-first” garments made from vegan mushroom leather.

I created 3 versions:
- bright and bold, modern but with a clear 70’s twist
- digital collage, experimenting transparency, light, superposition and colours
- night time with the mushrooms behind in reference to the innovative sustainable garment material

I had a dream where I was walking around with 2 leopards on my shoulders, each on one side. They were 2 females, sisters, blue with black dots. They were a bit heavy and not so easy to carry. I went to visit my mum and spent time with family in our old flat in Paris… I carried them around the whole time as if they were my children… and my protectors.

A few days after this dream I wanted to start drawing more animals, so I went for a leopard. Not blue but surrounded with colourful and abundant Nature. She’s in the now moment, cleaning herself, in the moonlight. True self-care.

I decided to make it a Giclée print and she became one of my best sellers.

This is an illustration celebrating the beauty and power of the Sisterhood. These women stand together in their differences. they root for each other and watch each other grow.

International Women’s Day 2021
Personal work

I drew these three women, fierce, soft and powerful, standing in unison with their singularities, in abundant loving Mother Nature.

I am woman who loves to draw and paint women. I draw them to celebrate and empower them and to shine a light on the importance of the Sisterhood.

To all the women around the world, I wish you to take control, to feel safe and respected, to know your unconditional worth, to bring your chair to the table even when you’re not invited, to receive education, to grow and bloom, to create and tell your own story, to empower each other.

And it starts here. With our sisters, soul sisters, friends, mums, colleagues, neighbours, local entrepreneurs. It starts with what we think, what we learn and unlearn, what we say, what we do, what we buy, what we sign, where we donate. And every single win, big or small, matters.

I drew this on International Women’s Day 2021 with the hope and conviction that, one day, my sisters, my queens, we won’t need this day anymore.

Client: Receive London
Receive is a brand that provides care holistic events and services for carers in London

Very moved and angry by the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many more, I created a series of illustrations to raise my voice in support of BLM movement, to stand against everyday racism, celebrate togetherness and love, and to push white people take a hard long look at their white supremacy.

I am a mixed raced woman, white and Arab/ North African, from a Muslim background, and I suffered from racism all my life, especially at school, growing up in France. The everyday, basic racism, the jokes, the names... Deeply rooted in a post colonial culture. Intolerable. But nothing compared to what Black people have been and are still going through. So it is my duty too to raise my voice, join the brotherhood and sisterhood and fight for equal rights, safety, love and freedom.

2020 - Covid lockdown
Personal work

Like many other women, I stopped wearing bras during lockdown. Just because it feels so much more comfortable. And it’s not hurting anyone.
Before lockdown it was never really an option, I thought people like me who don’t have Jane Birkin’s cute small sunflowers don’t get to let ours free. It would be too out there and vulgar.
But with lockdown and social distanciation, you realise that this, like many other rules, is all a social construct. We get to wear whatever we want and do whatever we want with our own bodies. This is a basic right.
As for the mask, it is our duty, as a citizen and community member, to protect our peers, especially the vulnerable ones.

So… Free the tits, protect the City!
