During the music creation process, I thought about drawing the poets to create another interpretation of the poems, somewhere between French comics and fairy-tale worlds.
As an artist, you can bring your vision to life and express your creativity uniquely. One of how you can do this is by blending different art forms to create something truly original. I have combined music and visual art to create a video featuring famous French poets turned into cartoons.

Creating new drawings makes me more clear about my sound choice during the creation process. In other words, creating something with graphics that come from the poet’s work allows me to understand more about my own work before publication.
This is a bold and innovative approach to showcasing the beauty and richness of French poetry. By transforming these poets into colorful cartoon characters, I have made their work more accessible and appealing to a broader audience. Using the music I made further enhances the emotional impact of the video, adding an extra layer of depth and beauty to the experience.
Drawing and coloring twelve different poets is a challenging feat. The animation style is playful and whimsical, which is probably a contrast to the nature of the poems.
By including famous poets such as Victor Hugo, Jean de La Fontaine, Pierre Corneille, and Charles Baudelaire, I have paid homage to some of the most iconic voices in French literature. At the same time, you have also included lesser-known poets such as Paul Verlaine and Sully Prudhomme, which helps to introduce new audiences to their work.
The music from my first album adds an extra layer of emotion and depth to the video, and it helps to enhance the impact of the poems. The melodies and rhythms perfectly suit the tone and mood of each poem, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for the viewer.
It’s essential to recognize that this video is more than just a work of art. It’s a celebration of the beauty and power of language and a reminder of the impact that poetry can have on our lives. I took the poems and translated them into illustrations. By turning these poets into cartoons, I hope I have breathed new life into them, making them more accessible and engaging for modern audiences:
It’s a celebration of the rich and diverse world of French poetry. The use of music, animation, and color create a truly immersive experience that is both entertaining and enlightening. It’s a perfect example of how different art forms can come together to create something truly unique and impactful.
