Her inspirations are literature, news, press, stories and film in black and white cultures elsewhere. SoiseM has worked in publishing since 1989, illustrating a dozen novels for young Hachette editions and 80 portraits of blues-man for the Editions Atlas. Looking for an original aesthetic, relevant and new, mixing various art movements such as Bauhaus, the Italian Futurists, primitive art, folk art, Henri Rousseau, SoiseM built a colorful graphic style and form.
