When the Franco-Swiss artist Anaïs Coulon looks at nature, she captures its essential forms and dominant colors. She simplifies, brings out the defining contours, enlivens the tones, and distills it all down to its simplest expression to present an abstract world—an idealized reflection of the real world.

A graphic designer, Anaïs Coulon grew up in a family of artists whose bohemian and colorful atmosphere continues to influence her work today. A graduate of the Geneva University of Art and Design, she quickly began working as a freelance graphic designer and has taken on numerous projects in a variety of fields, ranging from cultural to private sectors.

Over time, she has developed a poetic visual language that straddles the boundaries between graphic design and illustration. Often inspired by nature, her visuals alternate between lushness and minimalism and invite a sense of contemplation. Curious and versatile, she explores various creative mediums and has recently begun creating works in painting and ceramics.

Her exhibition *Monts & Merveilles* is on view through March 31 at FOOUND (7 Rue Jean-Dassier). Don’t miss the closing reception on Thursday, March 27, 2025, starting at 6 p.m., where you can see these colorful drawings and have the chance to chat with the artist!
