Bio

Marie Guillard is a talented illustrator hailing from Bordeaux, now making her creative mark in Paris. Her artistic journey has been shaped by a rich educational background at renowned institutions, including Olivier de Serres in Paris and the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. These influences are palpable in her work, which seamlessly blends the vibrant collage techniques of Henri Matisse with the satirical and anthropological lens of Martin Parr. Marie’s illustrations are characterized by a striking distortion of reality, where unusual perspectives and exaggerated proportions invite viewers into her whimsical world. A foot looming large in the foreground or a car speeding off into a barren desert sans windshield defy conventional realism, transforming her scenes into evocative memories that feel as though they have emerged from a dream. Each piece is imbued with a poetic narrative and bold framing, creating a timeless and sensual atmosphere that captivates and ensnares the viewer's gaze. Her unique vision has garnered collaborations with prestigious brands such as GUCCI, as well as notable fashion labels like Sézane and Maisons 123. Additionally, she has contributed her distinctive style to podcasts like Louie Media and frequently collaborates with esteemed publications, including The New York Times and Télérama. Through her art, Marie Guillard continues to enchant audiences, inviting them to experience a world where time stands still.
