Paul Mafayon is an illustrator whose artistic approach is marked by great diversity. His work, decidedly expressive and colorful, combines stylization and rendering with a single goal: to evoke emotion. What he seeks above all is to escape from a singular, fixed style—being told he has “no signature style” is, to him, a compliment. For in his view, locking oneself into a specific graphic style would signify the beginning of a creative decline.
