Paper Collective [Designer of the Week] Anne Laval (France)

A hub where the creativity of artists from around the globe converges. This week, we feature Anne Laval, an artist associated with Paper Collective—a poster brand hailing from Copenhagen.

Anne Laval is an artist based in Strasbourg, France.

She creates her work using a diverse range of techniques, including paint, ink, colored pencils, stamps, stencils, and screen printing. Characterized by simple shapes and vivid colors, her art celebrates the varied textures produced by these different materials.

Nature serves as a major source of inspiration for her; she often brings home small objects she discovers while out for a walk.

Tiny figures standing amidst vast landscapes—the contrast between the infinitely large and the infinitely small—

—is a theme she loves to explore.

In addition to creating picture books and posters, Anne Laval participates in exhibitions, and her work has been showcased around the world.

"For me, nature is the greatest source of inspiration and tranquility. I feel that nature is both magnificent and powerful, yet also incredibly delicate. I like to depict humans in what I consider their 'rightful place' within their relationship to nature—that is, as very small beings."by Anne Laval
