ABOUT

Aurore de la Morinerie is a French artist and illustrator known for her distinctive, minimalist work rooted in ink, monotype, and a deep influence from Chinese calligraphy. Based in Paris, her practice explores movement, nature, and the human form through fluid, abstract compositions with a refined use of negative space.

Working primarily with ink and monotype, her work captures a sense of spontaneity and meditative elegance. Her illustrations have been featured in Vogue and in collaborations with leading luxury houses including Hermès, Chanel, and Maison Margiela. Alongside her artistic practice, she runs a studio dedicated to bespoke illustration for luxury brands and editorial projects.
