Artist, designer and paper lover.

Paris-based artist Cassandre Montoriol’s traditional gouache drawings are the toast of the fashion publishing world. Her expressive, hand-drawn aesthetic is reminiscent of travel diaries, fashion illustration and textile design, which is perhaps why her feminine style is so often commissioned within the glossy pages of high-end fashion magazines. Recently Cassandre has been illustrating leafy city scenes and the interiors of shops from tiny, cluttered bookstores to towering, gleaming malls. “I make colourful and figurative work, Cassandre says. “Interior scenes, nature, landscape and people.” bio @Agent Pekka  photo @Jean-marc Pau

Infinite teenagehood

I was born in Moscow, Russia, but was always fascinated with traveling and meeting new cultures. After several years in Vienna, Austria, I decided to move to Paris, France, and study professional photography. Before making this choice I started career in history of art.  These days I work on different long-term projects, mostly concentrated on fine-art and documentary photography. Camera helps me to observe the world around and to keep in time people, beauty and happy moments. 

Clément Mancini is a French contemporary artist who lives and works in Paris. After his studies in graphic arts, he moved to Lyon for 6 years where he developed a work of murals paintings in which abstraction took more and more importance. Close to his graffiti roots and to the energy that emanates from the street, he seeks to reinterpret in his works this energy mixing balance in compo- sition and movement, as in the treatment of line and texture. Now working mainly in his studio, he loves to shake up his painting prac- tice.and techniques, he describes his work as constantly evolving.
