Dark and mysterious—that’s how I describe illustrator Pierre Mornet’s beautiful paintings. Combining vintage-inspired realism (think the Golden Age of illustration) with bold, flat colors, he creates curious images whose young subjects have arresting stares that sear into you.
I’m not the only fan of Pierre’s work. Renowned author and infamous Twitter user Joyce Carol Oates had this to say:
Beguiling, surreal & sensuous art of French artist Pierre Mornet. Think of a more benign Balthus, a more erotic Alice (in Wonderland).
