Nicolas Ridou

Nicolas Ridou, an imaginative illustrator and web designer, finds that the most profound ideas often emerge from moments of boredom. This universal experience serves as a catalyst for his creativity, transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary visual narratives. Through his digital illustrations, he weaves surrealist tales that invite viewers into a whimsical realm where the familiar takes on a peculiar charm. Nicolas honed his artistic skills over five years at the prestigious Hautes Écoles des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg, where he discovered that the depth of artistic reflection is just as vital as technical proficiency. Upon graduating, he made a conscious choice to forge his own path as a r, driven by a desire for diverse experiences rather than conventional corporate life. It is during these explorations that he draws inspiration from the television shows he consumes, channeling the narratives and aesthetics into his unique artistic voice.
