For this illustration I worked on an old English epic poem, "The Faerie Queen", by Edmund Spencer, published in 1596.
Spencer describes the allegorical presentation of virtues through Arthurian knights in the mythical Faerieland.
This is my version of the passage with Una and the Lion.]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:35:22 +0000 http://agata.cgsociety.org/gallery/590621

This picture illustrates a book of John Keats, one of the leading poets of the English Romantic movement (and one of my favourite inspirations).
The title means: On the Wing of the Phenix.

Hello everyone,
Actually I’m working hard on another book project named ROUSALKA with my talented friend Damien Vaillant as a writer, and with the (not so) secret hope it will meet the interest of an editor, why not in the US or somewhere out of France (my country).
It’s an illustrated book of Slavic and Romantic Fairytales, introducing some of the most famous Faeries of the Polish and Lithuanian legends. These are stories of passion and nostalgia, which are the roots of what I’d call the “Slavic Spirit”.
ROUSALKA was designed in the old tradition of the wonderful fairytales illustrators masters like Arthur Rackham, Ivan Bilibine, Kay Nielsen…
Here is the next one, my polish "Husarz".
Thanks for your attention everybody.
Cheers!]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:24:20 +0000 http://agata.cgsociety.org/gallery/543747

It's a split page for a Children Book "The Little girl and The Rat".
The story set in the dreamlike World of the two principal characters.
During the travel, landscapes and inhabitants seems to be not so strange and frightening than expected...
A tale about the difference and the fear of grow up.

Let me introduce you to the two main characters of a Children Book of mine entitled "The Little Girl and The Rat".
When I made this character design, I wanted this image to be also an introduction to the story.
I also wanted the type design to represent a way to follow the little girl in her adventures (like breadcrumbs in the French story “The little Poucet”, for who knows ).
In English the translation of the text would be: “My little Rat slept like a log, so I got into his dream…”
The story of the book set in the dreamlike World of the two main characters.
During the travel, landscapes and inhabitants seem to be not as strange and frightening as expected...
A tale about the difference and the fear of grow up.

Last week came out a collective Children Book (for the 3-5 years old) published by Fleurus Editions, in which I illustrated a tale.
I'ts a story about a little girl who will learn that there is a difference between dreaming to be a Princess, and to become one.
A sweetie adventure for the little ones, talking about identity and rise to an ideal.

This image is a split page.
There will be a fair at school next week. And as all other children have to do, "Agnès" had to choose her disguise.
For her, it's straight away found : she will be a Princess.
Every night before this so expected opportunity, she starts to dream.
She's set on a magnificent throne, in the shade of a gorgeous rose tree, with a lovely dress, a beautiful tiara on her head, and an impressive train around her little feet...

I develop the idea of a short illustrated stories book for a long time. The book is filled with Slavic romanticism, mythology, nostalgia, ardour and faerie…my origins.
"Sirena" is one of the 5 characters of the 5 stories.
I can't say more for the moment, but soon I hope.

It's a completly personnal, slavic and romantic interpretation of a soul's procession which are looking to be at peace. A kind of tribute to my Polish grandparents for the marvellous and free childhood they gave me.]]> Mon, 12 Jun 2006 12:27:42 +0000 http://agata.cgsociety.org/gallery/357175
