This bookworm and reading enthusiast didn’t study drawing, but architecture, which has given him a particular mastery of volumes and space. Nevertheless, having had a pencil in his hand since the age of six, he can’t remember ever not having done any drawing! But he does remember always looking for meaning in his creations. It’s not about looking pretty! Instead, the objective that guides him is combining emotion with reflection. Inspired by music, ideas, encounters, current affairs and comic strips, he creates a world where every detail counts, and where each element contributes its part to the construction of a coherent and sensitive whole. Henri lived in Vienna for several years. Was it this cosmopolitan city, with its long tradition of promoting dialogue between the arts, that helped him acquire the taste for bringing together disciplines, meaning and aesthetics? He works in all media and with all kinds of tools, but it’s still with pencil and paper that his ideas are born, even if the illustration is completed on the computer afterwards. Today, as a freelance graphic designer, he brings his talent to bear on his clients, giving body and face to a vision of the world.

Here, the entire illustration is dedicated to education. From the Belval University building, turned upside down and transformed into a metaphorical aquarium, a sort of ladder of knowledge, an innovative ecosystem nourished by books and interactions between disciplines rises up. In this giant incubator, thanks to the engineers, this knowledge is transformed into new products, new technologies and new objects for exchange between people, opening up new sources of knowledge in a great cyclical movement benefiting the whole of humanity.
