Adèle Maury was born in 1999. She has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Yet it was in the ceramics section that she graduated from the Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg in 2020. She has never stopped exploring drawing and, more specifically, storytelling. Comics are her field of experimentation, where words and images meet and engage in a lively, natural dialogue. She often tells stories with characters who talk about love. In January 2020, Adèle won 1st prize in the Jeunes Talents competition at the Angoulême festival, thanks to a comic in which a pig destined for the slaughterhouse turns into a dog and escapes his fate. Most of the time, her heroes are animals, as she's more at ease with their expressiveness. At the beginning of 2021, she leaves to learn Italian in Bologna, and takes advantage of this opportunity to illustrate the ONJ's book-disc Dracula with her black and white monotypes. Adèle Maury now lives in Brussels, where she completed a Master's degree in comics at ESA Saint-Luc from 2021 to 2023.
