About

Albane Simon is a French illustrator and collagist based in Libourne near Bordeaux in the southwest of France. She studied graphic design and illustration at LISAA in Paris and specializes in creating surrealist collages that blend vintage and fantasy elements, staging apocalyptic themes in whimsical settings where antique tragedy and futurist delirium intertwine. Her work explores a world where linear time loses relevance, with past memories and future visions colliding in a present gone awry, touching on topics like ecology, science, architecture, and spirituality.
