Maud Bihan

Emerging from the tranquil beauty of France, Maud Bihan is an illustrator who captures the essence of whimsy and wonder with every stroke. Her name resonates with the magic she infuses into her art, transforming stories into vivid realities. With roots in children's book illustration, Maud has ventured into a realm of personal creativity, and Mossery is delighted to be part of her enchanting journey.

Maud's creative process is a harmonious blend of inspiration and intuition. She immerses herself in a wealth of imagery, nurturing her ideas until they spark to life. Her initial sketches are free and unbound, allowing her work to develop with a richness of detail that is deeply personal and meaningful.

Her painting technique mirrors this spirit of freedom, beginning with broad strokes and incrementally adding depth. This approach keeps the joy of creation at the forefront and releases her from the constraints of perfection, allowing her art to grow naturally.

In collaboration with Mossery, Maud has created book covers that are not mere illustrations but portals to fantastical worlds. Each cover is intricately woven with enchanting details, beckoning readers into realms filled with mystery and magical companions. Maud aspires for her work to offer a comforting sanctuary, echoing the warmth and softness she feels while painting.

Maud's art is a reflection of her ability to uncover the extraordinary in the everyday, finding beauty in the mundane. Her work is not only a representation of the world around her but also a mirror to her inner self, where she explores her aspirations and dreams.

Transitioning from a children's book illustrator to an independent artist has been a challenging yet fulfilling path for Maud. She has navigated the challenges of burnout and rekindled her love for drawing, leading her to a place of creative freedom and self-discovery.

Maud's future is as limitless as her imagination. She envisions personal projects and collaborations that will elevate her art to new heights. Her ultimate ambition is to write and illustrate a children's book entirely of her own creation, a project already in motion and filling her with excitement.

To artists considering the leap into a professional art career, Maud advises finding joy in their work and remembering the reasons for embarking on the journey. It is this passion and purpose that will guide them through the uncertainties and challenges of the creative path.
