Illustrator Virginie Morgand dives deep into her love of pools with La Piscine series

Virginie explains: "I like to capture bodies floating in blue as well as old-fashioned suits and vintage caps. I like the primary colours in Olympic pools and, because of the transparency of the water, I enjoy layering tones in the screen-printing process."

Based in Paris, Virginie's background lies in animation, and she learnt how to screen-print at L'atelier Dupont. Known for her unique style as an illustrator, recent clients include L'Occitane, London Transport Museum, New York Times and The Sunday Times. She adds: "I purposefully work within a limited colour palette and concentrate on evoking different characters through varying costumes, postures, and styles."

This series, La Piscine, was created for a solo exhibition at O! Galeria in Portugal, then at Slow Gallery in Paris. You can discover more of Virginie's work at virginie-morgand.com or follow her on Behance.
