SoiseM
SoiseM (aka illustrator Francoise Moreau) was born in 1963 and
attended the ESAG (Graduate School of Design and Graphic Art). Looking for an
original aesthetic, SoiseM built a colorful graphic style and form. She draws
with crayons on sandpaper and pastel colored or white paper. She also creates
acrylic paintings. 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. Since 2000, SoiseM has worked with the
business press for newspapers and also for the news media kiosk for Les Echos
newspaper, The World Bank magazine, the company magazine, Investing magazine.
In 2002, she worked on a calendar and a series of greeting cards in a design
inspired by African art and Mondrian, for Amnesty International.
