Hello, my name is Olivier Ribbe, a Lyon native with a penchant for minimalist style. I adore sketching in red and blue hues, a ritual before diving into my illustrations. What drives me? Adventure and knowledge-nature's mysteries, human expeditions, discoveries. Wildlife captivates me, so much so that I actively support a wildlife rescue association in France.
I boast the prestigious Adobe Achievement Award in Illustration from 2005. Exhibitions beckon me, and my collaborations with esteemed clients, notably Gemini Books, have been creatively enriching. Known for my punctuality, clients appreciate the narrative essence I infuse into my illustrations. With a background in graphic design and a decade of teaching illustration, my forte lies in composition, colors, and an insatiable curiosity that fuels my work.
My artistic journey is colored by a love for art books, particularly Pop art culture, and revered comic authors like Hergé and Moebius. Museums and exhibitions hold a special place in my heart, inspiring my creative spirit. When I'm not painting or honing my craft, I cherish moments with my family, including my son and two feathered friends. Quirky to the core, my epitaph wish? "Told you it wasn't just a flu."
