I came across the wonderful work of French artist Géraldine Alibeu on a French art website, and I was immediately attracted to her interesting style. At times she’s whimsical and fanciful, while at others she’s dark and strange … like me!
I wish I could give you more info about her, but an exhaustive Internet search for her bio produced nothing but websites in French (it’s like those French have a different word for everything!) I do know that she is quite well known for her book covers and magazine layouts, but in this case, I’ll just let her art do the talking.
Profiter de l’art de Géraldine Alibeu!

It’s lovely and cute.
Thanks for the introduction to this artist.
you’re very welcome, Angeline!
Hi Stephen, Geraldine is a really cool & whimsical artist. Thanks for showcasing her on your blog. Her style makes me think of my sister’s art. You might want to look at her website too: http://www.konsumerismrunamok.com/
Wow, your sister’s work is excellent, cool, fun and whimsical … reminicscent of Geraldine’s work. Do you think your sis would mind if I featured her work in a future post in my artist’s collection?
Hi Stephen, I’m sure she would love it!! I’m glad you like it. She got all the artistic talent in our family… 🙂
If you browse those sites using Google Chrome, there’s an option to instantly translate it for you. It’s not often accurate, but if you’ve sat through a few kungfu movies before, you’ll be able to deal with the broken English.
I like the style, very refreshing!
it’s hard not to smile … or at least be intrigued. glad you liked it.
wonderful, thanks for introducing me to her work, Stephen, she wasn’t on my radar before! xxx Ailsa
you bet, ailsa! i had always intended for my blog to be a place where i can share some of the artists i like with everyone else, so i’m glad you like it. mission accomplished!
Hurrah!
I wanted to learn more about her and did find this little blurb. Being you mentioned you couldn’t really find much, I thought I’d place the blurb here. Hope that’s OK! “Born in Echirolles, Geraldine Alibeu is a young artist of truly singular style. Handyman child, she began very early to get excited about the images. At school, she created the adventures of her teacher in comics. Later, she received her degree of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg in the illustration workshop. … she attended the school of the Powder in Valencia, where she discovered animation. It will give life to two films since her debut album, this artist, animated by curiosity, continues to exploit the full potential of the art … she signed a dozen albums, published by several publishers. They include ‘What Is My Color?’ ‘We Do Not Like Cats,’ ‘Little Red Riding Hood Has Concerns,’ ‘The Sleigh Ride’ and ‘The Mariguita and Soup of Paradise …'”
cool … thanks so much for this! nice to shed a little light on this very cool artist. thanks for stopping by, too!
You’re so welcome!! I look forward to seeing more of what you post. 😀
