Amirouche Achab

Born in Lille (France) in 1981, drawing has always been a passion since his childhood. It is in this city that his inspiration emerges, imbued by the iconography of the 80s and 90s, but also by various influences such as Belgian television, Japanese and American popular culture.

His works are often characterized by an essentially monochrome palette, using black, white or bright colors and a "kitsch" aesthetic, reminiscent of these iconic goodies from European brands such as Bonux, Nesquik or Kinder, which marked an entire generation.

His artistic career took root at the Saint-Luc Institute in Tournai (in Belgium) in 2000, his artistic training begins in Graphic Arts / Applied Arts, thus opening the doors to a multitude of media and creative techniques. Abandoning graffiti for illustration and logo design, he gained experience until 2004 joining a Parisian communications agency, where he worked until 2009. Returning to Lille, he became an independent illustrator, collaborating with audiovisual and musical production companies.
