The Jizo, the Tori and the Sun (2015) Drawing by Aurélie Bescond

Illustrator born in 1980, Aurélie Bescond studied applied arts before training in digital graphics. She published her first illustrations in 1999 with Editions Le Rat Pendu for which she ran a section dedicated to Japanese fantastic art for a few years.

After a little detour through English-French literary translation following a TMS in her right hand, she recently reconnected with her first love.

Through her illustrations, she approaches themes that are dear to her such as Breton legends, fantasy and death, using her favorite techniques of watercolor and Indian ink, sometimes mixed with new media, without forgetting the bic pen. Because the simplest tool is often the one with the greatest expressive power.
