A little bit about Agathe
Agathe Singer is a 38-year-old French artist living and working between Paris and La Rochelle, by the sea. Born in Normandy, Agathe was raised in Brittany and moved to Paris at 17 to pursue her studies. She studied graphic arts at Duperré and Penninghen before working as a graphic designer. Over time she developed a passion for gouache and began to paint, inspired by artists like Matisse, Le Douanier Rousseau and Frida Kahlo. She has been an illustrator for almost 15 years now. Her art has caught the attention of brands like Fortnum & Mason, Moynat, The Peninsula Hotel HK and Vogue Italia, bringing her colorful, quirky style to editorial projects, product designs, and more.
Themes of femininity, beauty and nature dominate her bold, colourful work.
Agathe’s Cats is an ongoing series focused on cat portraits, through paintings full of vibrant colors.
“Given the cosmopolitan elegance of Agathe Singer’s subjects, the Parisian artist’s collaborations with global brands including Gucci, Sephora, and Atelier Cologne seem only natural. But Singer also celebrates the creature comforts of home and garden, particularly the sort that saunter past on four legs or curl at your feet. Her whimsical depictions of cats celebrate their reigning spot within the animal kingdom — from leopards in otherworldly jungles to equally mysterious house cats — as well as the quirks that make them unique.”
