Biography

Florence Balducci is an artist, illustrator and art director
best known for her detailed and expressive drawings of animals and floral characters.

Born in Lorraine, France, Florence now lives and works in Paris. She graduated from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts 
in Nancy and went on to pursue a career in art direction and advertising with companies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, JWT, and Alice. Today Florence works with a variety of clients in graphic design, fine illustration, scenography, drawing performance, window displays, tableware design and art direction.

Florence’s medium of choice is ink, and sometimes graphite.
Her work is in the style of engraving, usually black and white, with the occasional touch of colour. Her images are a vivid whirlwind
of minute details depicting dreamlike characters,
often set in a scene of nature that is mythical and fantastic.

When asked about her influences, Florence sites an early childhood fascination with the natural world, animals, and minerals. She spends a lot of time observing nature with her uncle Hilaire, a Gamer Keeper, in the forests of les Vosges, France.

When Florence travels she can be found exploring the museums, libraries, and flea markets of the world.
Literature and art books both old and new inspire her.
Her world is nurtured by the creativity of Grandville, Aubrey Beardsley, William Morris, Fornasetti, Eisher, Burton,
and Wes Anderson.


Florence enjoys working with a variety of clients including Anthropologie, Gien, Marriot Hotel, Frey, and Merci store.
Her creations are unique works of art that become collectable: tableware, rugs, armchairs, wallpaper, silk scarves,
skirts, dresses, and bags.


Additionally Florence works for hotels, restaurants, and retail shops where she creates display and window art on site.
