Tiptoe by Louise De crozals
Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Louise, and I’m an illustrator in Lyon, a city that nourishes me with its energy, even if I sometimes dream of wide-open spaces and nature. In my illustrations, I particularly enjoy telling stories without characters, simply through the object as a silent witness.
How would you describe your creative world?
I love playing with intense colors and strong contrasts. Layering colors is my way of capturing light and a particular atmosphere. My illustrations are like an open window onto a captured moment of life; I like to think of my drawings as little theater scenes, where each object is an actor in its own right. I like to leave room for the viewer’s interpretation, so everyone can make the story their own in their own way.
What did you seek to recreate through your work with Tiptoe?
I imagined a simple summer scene, yet rich with sensations. The cool shade of a tree, a bouquet of mimosa, pruning shears—like a quiet moment, perhaps after gardening. My intention was to highlight the objects in an environment that evokes life without showing it directly, like a suggested presence.
Can you share a place where you feel good?
My dad’s garden, up in the mountains. Even in the middle of August, it’s cool there and the air is so gentle. The sound of insects, the murmur of a distant stream, and that feeling of being away from the world.
