French illustrator and artist Sylvain Trabut crafts incredible forest creatures using natural elements. In his words “I grew up in the countryside, invited by nature to come and observe it closely. When I was born, my parents planted a Scots pine. My plant brother and I are the same age, but today his peak is far above my white hair.”

As a child, to observe nature in “very small”, I squinted my eyes riveted on tiny insects. The trees were my main playground. Growing up I continued to climb trees, to collect myself when I needed to take a step back. So many elements that I use later to create characters. I prefer as much as possible to get lost in the forest, among the branches and the mosses, rather than on the internet in the middle of artificial intelligences and algorithms.
