Mathilde Rives is a Paris-based illustrator and member of 'Pauline Perplexe', an artist-run space in Arcueil. She teaches drawing at ESAD-Pyrénées and balances her work between print and animation, creating both personal projects and commissioned works for press, communication, and children's literature. Rives explores the relationship between language and image through her drawings, which often translate into publications, installations, and animations. Her recent publication includes the children's book "L’été," published by Marcel & Joachim.
