Gwladys Morey is an illustrator whose colourful work is filled with 50’s inspirations and exotic settings, informed by her travels in Latin America and a few years spent in La Havana. Her time at l’École Estienne and Les Gobelins led her to favour visual playfulness and simplification, a quest that often begins in her compulsively full sketchbooks.

When the eye meets Gwladys’ work, the colour palette stands out first before the interlocked and overlapping shapes reveal themselves. Her graphic signature lies within those shapes, compressed between colours, that appear throughout ongoing observation.
