Mathieu Persan is a 38-year-old freelance illustrator from Paris. Passionate about graphic design from the 30's to the 60's, he draws an important part of his inspiration from this universe. His retro style and committed themes have seduced the international press (Le Monde, The Boston Globe, The Tampa Bay Times), publishers (Tana Editions, Rue Fromentin, Didier Jeunesse, Random House NYC) and musicians looking for a strong graphic style for their record covers. An admirer of genius poster artists such as AM Cassandre, Mathieu Persan also produces series of posters. The most recent of these was in Vancouver, showcasing the city's Art Deco heritage.
