Her artist's studio just outside Paris
Red brick, soaring ceilings, arched windows. In a space that's part loft, part church, with a distinct echo, family living space and drawing boards coexist, displaying Swenn Jedraszczyk's illustrations. It is in this former studio, once belonging to the artist Chapelain-Midy, that Swenn lives and sets up her own production space just outside Paris.
A multi-talented creator
Swenn is a multi-talented creator. An object designer, she also delves into interior architecture, designing boutique layouts for major brands, and finally, graphic design. All these skills, which she seems to master brilliantly, are united by one passion: drawing.
Drawing through analog methods
In her bohemian-inspired studio, where time seems to stand still, Swenn draws daily, thus refining her line precision. Sketchbooks fill the house; curious guests leaf through the drawings here and there and sometimes take them home as a souvenir of this encounter, of this visit to her artistic bubble. For Swenn, illustration happens through analog methods, much like the vinyl records she listens to. She loves fine papers and beautiful tools, with which she returns to craftsmanship, an art form. Her work reveals fine-point illustrations, rich in detail and precision. Drawings you want to shrink into and explore every pencil stroke.
From horse riding to the rooftops of Paris
Between the countryside and the capital, the artist has found her balance. Her great passion for horse riding brings her closer to this nature, which is both rejuvenating and inspiring. This passion is reflected in her work for certain saddlery brands, for which she creates illustrations. Finally, she experiences Paris for its vibrant energy, and a small detail of her story did not escape us: a designer in the heart of the capital for several years, she developed a passion for studying beekeeping, which she discovered on the rooftops of Paris, uncovering the hidden sides of great monuments and installing hives on their roofs.
Carte Blanche on the "Chance" candle
Swenn lent her artistic hand to the creation of a candle, for which she was given carte blanche. The artist envisioned the Chance candle with an illustration of an herbarium of clover leaves, drawn with a fine point.
