Anne Laval is a Strasbourg-based illustrator whose sweet works yield scenes like the one you see above. I want a giant bear friend like that!
Often, Anne’s pieces feature wispy shapes that signify hair, spirits, and branches. It adds a sense of movement, as if the wind is gently blowing through each scene. There’s a certain level of comfort that comes from this. Characters look calm and relaxed, enclosed in pockets of happiness.
