Fagostudio is a collective of talented illustrators based in Nantes, composed of Léna, Axel, and Baptiste. All three trained at AGR, the School of Image Design, where they acquired skills in graphic design, illustration, and art direction. Their passion for illustration took shape during internships in creative studios, inspiring them to combine their talents to create Fagostudio. Their collaborative approach allows them to bring diverse projects in advertising, editorial, and video to life, while developing a unique style blending rich textures and vibrant colors.
Fagostudio's success is based on a combination of shared inspiration and technical innovation. Notable achievements include creating a poster for the "À l'Heure Bleue" festival and designing over 80 illustrations for the book "La géopolitique tout simplement" (Geopolitics Simply) published by Eyrolles. Their work was also featured in an exhibition at the Château de Cop Choux, where they explored the symbiosis between nature and urban planning. Constantly striving for improvement, they invest in advanced digital tools to refine their creative process and take on new artistic challenges.
