La Satanée is a French illustrator living and working in Nantes, France. She was born in 1987 and studied graphic design before moving to Paris to work as an art director in several design agencies, and then as a freelancer. During this time, she developed her unique style, drawing inspiration from medieval art, the Renaissance, and the engravings of Albrecht Dürer, while aligning with the "dark art" movement, a macabre branch of lowbrow. La Satanée is further influenced by symbolism, the Tarot of Marseille, occult and religious imagery, as well as European mythology and folklore. These inspirations are reflected in her mystically charged works, where vanitas and memento mori intertwine, creating a powerful and introspective visual universe. La Satanée blends manual and digital techniques, offering compositions that are both poetic and dark. Her works, imbued with mysticism, invite a deep exploration of human existential concerns, revealing a dialogue between past and present, the visible and the invisible.
