Simone, Naki
Artist | Hobbyist | Traditional Art
France
I am a surrealist, I love cubism, pittura metafisica, art nouveau, dada, and I find it hard to leave space blank. I scribble, then I work out the details. I sometimes sculpt grinded shadows on paper. I love details, structures, and textures. Some of my illustrations are naïve to represent the inner child. I play with words, I like calligraphy as I like science fiction, and fantasy. I grew up with pens, pencils, ballpoint pens, fineliner pens, copic markers, charcoal, graphite, pastel chalks, acrylic colors. I love Stabilos, Copic Markers, PaperMates, and Sharpies. I am bad at watercolors, although I blend my acrylics with water. I used to paint on large formats, and I am currently limited to Moleskines and DIN A4 canvas or paper. I have a fantasy-cyberpunk-science fiction story in my head that sometimes creeps into my illustrations. I am fascinated with our will to know the future, while we are still reminiscing about the past.
I currently live in France and Germany, I am a Master's degree student and freelancer in various fields of communication. I am a trilingual traveller with a passion for technological utopia. La vertu trouve toujours sa récompense.
