Malika Favre is probably one of the UK’s most sought after graphic artists, with clients that include giants like The New Yorker, Vogue, BAFTA, Sephora, and Penguin Books.
Her graphic designs and minimal illustrations explore the contrasts between positive and negative space and color, with striking results.
Originally from France, Favre admitted in an interview with Plastik Magazine that “fine art just never seemed a viable option to me. I never wanted to become an artist. I never even thought I had a voice. But I knew I loved drawing and coming up with ideas.”
According to her, “graphic design and advertising seemed like a good choice. Also, I had been drawing for so long that illustration didn’t really feel like a field in which I could learn a lot. I always liked the idea of a good challenge and I knew nothing about graphic design as such, so it just felt right. Looking back now, I realize I was wrong and probably too cautious. But does the journey really matter? As long as you get there in the end.”
