Samuel Eckert is an illustrator and art director in Pantin, France. His work cultivates a spontaneous and clean style, where the absurd and false naivety come together.
He creates a language that plays with words and graphics to engage, charm, evoke smiles, and sometimes provoke thought. Between artistic exploration and micro-narratives, his images resonate with a form of pure pleasure, embracing joyful irony, gratuitous nonsense, and delightful simplicity to unveil reality.
Juggling between various practices and mediums, he blends his personal work with commissioned projects addressing identity issues or illustrations for a variety of clients.
