Delphine Bonnet

France • 1961

Inspired by the seabed, I introduce aquatic species that have not yet been listed.

Biography

1986: Diploma from ENSAD (École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) in Paris. 1990s: illustrator for children's magazines (Bayard, Fleurus Presse). Since 2015: personal productions on the theme of nature and animals. 2000s: regular interventions at ISCOM Montpellier in graphic design and image power.

No exhibition to date.

Drawing has been my passion since childhood. I always draw according to my imagination and from my memories of landscapes and skies. The smell of paint, the material of pastels, the contact of pencils and the touch of paper are essential to my balance.

Following my training as an illustrator, I worked for the children's press, inventing illustrated games and stories. For a few years now, I have been working on the theme of aquatic species that have not yet been listed. It is a subject that inspires me enormously and that I feel is inexhaustible.

When I lean over a blank sheet of paper, little by little strange images appear to me and I give them shape using all the colors I have at hand. Once finished, I give my strange animals the names that inspire me.

My works are produced in A4 and A3 formats, in ink and pastels, but also in digital format and some are printed in screen prints by Philippe Viala.

I gathered my first 100 aquatic species in a book that I self-published, accompanying each drawing with a text that I wrote and which tells a little about the life of these strange animals that are very much alive but that you have never seen.
