My name is Alexandra Maignan. I’m a French illustrator based in Westzaan, the Netherlands.
After graduating with a Fine Arts diploma in high school, I studied Arts at the École supérieure des Arts décoratifs in Strasbourg, France and joined the book binding workshop.
I completed my studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, in Amsterdam, and decided to establish my studio in the Netherlands.
Since 2009, I have been developing artist’s books and self-published projects in collaboration with artists and designers.
In 2012, I founded Atelier KUB and organized creative workshops and interactive tours for children (young and old) in contemporary art galleries and museums in Amsterdam.
In 2019, I dived into comics and - since then - my practice is focused on illustrated and narrative forms.
I have lots of fun sketching those around me, adapting comical conversations and often absurd situations that punctuate my daily (trilingual) family life.
