In the universe of Louise de Crozals, a Lyon-based illustrator and graphic designer, every color and line tells a fragment of intimacy. Her career began with a degree in graphic design and a master’s in illustration with honors. With her talent and a lifelong passion, Louise explores powerful themes such as relationships, sexuality, and intimacy, creating works that play on the boundary between the visible and the invisible, between strength and fragility. In her work, the delicacy of the line meets the power of color, creating a perfect synthesis of emotion and technique.

De Crozals’s art and style are likely influenced by what surrounds her every day, starting with her neighborhood of Croix-Rousse, a bohemian area of Lyon that, with its colors and textures, seems to mirror her art. It is here that Louise has developed a distinctive stylistic signature, made of fluid forms, overlaps, and transparencies that create sensual and mysterious images.

The artist favors risograph printing, a technique that, thanks to its chromatic overlays, allows her to maintain vivid, powerful tones. This choice came after experimenting with various techniques, from pastels to watercolors.

One can sense an interest in invisible bonds. Her compositions appear as windows onto closed, complex worlds—small universes that reflect the hidden side of everyday life.
