Illustrator Oreste Vincent, originally from Guyancourt, transforms comic books into a creative playground, mixing pop culture and satire in his self-published works.

An illustration artist trained at ETIC in Blois and later at École Pivaut in Nantes, Oreste Vincent cultivates an offbeat universe. A self-entrepreneur since 2024, he self-publishes his works and notably presented a traveling exhibition on "Pop Culture" at the Prisme d’Élancourt, where he led comic book initiation workshops for young people. The next workshop is scheduled for February 2027 in Chesnay Rocquencourt.
Influenced by modern Franco-Belgian comics, particularly by artists like Midam, Boulet, and Meurisse, Vincent describes his style as a mix of "big-nosed Belgian" and cubism. His work features humorous, parodic, and satirical comics, created with pencil, then ink, and finally colored digitally using Photoshop.
For Oreste Vincent, being an artist in Guyancourt means finding a balance between serenity and nature. The city where he grew up particularly inspires him through the Jean-Rousselot media library and the exhibition hall.
Two projects have been underway since 2026: "Rando," aimed at a young audience, explores humor in father-daughter relationships around hiking; and "Coulisses," for teens and adults, reveals the behind-the-scenes of creating various artistic works, from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" to Disney's "Mary Poppins." In the meantime, he will have a stand at the City's Christmas market and plans to launch a Kickstarter page to fund his comic projects.
He advises young people in Guyancourt wishing to enter the comic book field to seek local exhibition opportunities beyond social media, and to dare to connect and discuss their projects, which can open doors.
