A course by Clara Debray
Illustrator Clara Debray grew up surrounded by immense, majestic mountains. After finishing her studies at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the École Duperré, she set herself up in the alpine city of Annecy. So it's no mystery why nature and mountains are a constant presence in her creative process.
Through her illustrations, she transmits the emotions of the landscapes she paints and immortalizes the moments with vivid colors as the true engine of her art. She has also published her own graphic novel and collaborated with Paulette Magazine.
