30 Illustrations Defying Society’s Standards For Women, By This Artist (New Pics)

loknam contacted Cécile, who began by telling us more about herself: "Before starting my illustrator career, I worked as a graphic designer and art director." "I am based in France."

Cécile explained what prompted her to make illustrations that depict women as they genuinely are, without adhering to society expectations.

"I began my initial illustrations in 2016, when the media featured less body diversity than it does today. "It was important for me to demonstrate that all types of bodies exist and that we can be more open about our physical appearance," the artist added.

Cécile explained how society's perception of women has shifted since she began drawing illustrations.

"I believe we are seeing more diversity in media now, and while it may appear to be a marketing ploy, I believe it is still vital. And I love seeing people of different kinds on social media; there isn't just one model, which is fantastic. At the same time, young people have never had so much plastic surgery, so there appear to be many more possibilities to educate people about the fact that beauty may take many forms. I'm not inherently against surgery; it can be beneficial in some circumstances. But I believe that the way face filters cause hang-ups and encourage young people to have a particular specific physique is awful."

To stay motivated in creating art that defies standards and embraces faults, Cécile indicated that she would like to explore further topics that keep her creatively stimulated.

"I believe there is still a lot to say about bodies, and I hope to launch a men's series shortly. However, I do occasionally draw on other topics.

Cécile expressed her thoughts and aspirations regarding the ways in which her illustrations might impact positive change.

I just want to make others laugh about their insecurities because I believe that laughing is a strong method to reclaim control over oneself and to remind oneself not to take oneself too seriously. On the other hand, I wish to instill some compassion and kindness in them, as well as to bring to their attention the fact that every body deserves to be respected.

In a prior statement, the artist claimed that they were working on a children's book and illustrations on love relationships. In order to satisfy our curiosity, we wanted to know what Cécile hoped children and couples will take away from her work.

"I made a film about couples a while back since it's hilarious to watch a lot of things that are asked in heterosexual couples, such as the expectation that the guy should be taller than the woman, and so on. My intention was to experiment with these codes. I wrote a children's book a while ago, and it wasn't about bodies; rather, it was about a spider yoga class. It's about friendship and not giving up!
