Beax
Beax is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives in Paris. After studying visual communication at ECV Bordeaux, she began her career as advertising artistic director with Parisian agencies such as BDDP et Fils, BETC, HAVAS, ROSAPARK and LES GENS. With a soft spot for illustration and animation, she started working for herself in 2015, and published her first children’s book ‘Hernig et Zebraël’ with Les Fourmis rouges. She then worked with the Parisian transport company RATP, Total, the Gallimard publishing house, Le Chocolat des Français, the music label Distile records and Le Networker Magazine. Beax divides her time between Paris and Bordeaux where she established a silkscreen printing workshop in 2018. What does she enjoy? She likes people to come fetch her so that she can tell stories.
