Maite Leon is a French-Greek artist and illustrator based in Paris, France. Her work explores states of transition between the material and the immaterial, the familiar and the strange, the everyday object and the symbol it conceals. Drawing from Greek mythology, cinema, dreams and the surrealist tradition, she creates symbolic illustrations for contemporary narratives.<\/p>\n

After studying linguistics at Paris X<\/em> and visual communication at the \u00c9cole Duperr\u00e9<\/em>, she worked across creative industries including Sony Music, Disney Interactive Studios<\/em>, and major publishing houses. For over a decade, she collaborated with Le Monde,<\/em> cartoonist Plantu, co-authoring several press cartoon collections and archiving his 30,000 original drawings, now housed at the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She works across editorial, publishing, cinema and fashion, collaborating with international press, publishers and cultural institutions. Working in both traditional and digital media, she combines pencil, ink, watercolour and digital techniques to produce vibrant, symbol-laden compositions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
