AMANDINE JUNG, MUCH MORE THAN COLORING, AN ADVENTURE, SHARING AND A TOUCH OF ENCHANTMENT…
Born in 1987, in Brittany, in the land of fairies and korrigans, Amandine Jung lets herself be enchanted by tales and legends, wacky nursery rhymes, cartoons of all kinds. She keeps her child's soul in a world that she imagines dark and poetic. In her imagination, the sun can disappear to give way to the moon, Snow White can bite into a pearl apple, and a small shrew flies curiously in the sky. Going from a simple image in your head and succeeding in giving it shape is a difficult creative process. Amandine plays with paint, lines and her ideas. It feeds on the slightest word, a tiny note of music, a sweet spicy smell, the sound of the rain falling on the ground, the autumn leaves singing in the Breton forests, the moon makes her dreamy, of the simplest image and her overflowing imagination does the rest.
Since 2018, the artist has embarked on the world of coloring and has revealed a new talent for making coloring books for adults. In 2020, her first book “ “Snow White, the Poisoned Princess“ was released, followed in 2021 by “Cinderella and the Halloween Ball“, in 2022 “Pinups, Special Edition 2022” marks the beginning of his consecration, his name is beginning to resonate everywhere.
In October 2022, for Halloween, Amandine Jung is offering a brand new adventure with her first novel “Chrysalis, Tale 1: Le Coma Noir“. She makes us travel in a poetic and fantastic tale in the Kingdom of the Moon, a sunless world dominated by eternal night.
November 2022, in her third coloring book, Amandine Jung dives into the famous tale by Hans Christian Andersen. This time, it is between land and sea that Amandine invites us to travel. Through his illustrations, imprinted with his unique and dreamlike vision, rediscover this wonderful tale from our childhood: “The Little Mermaid”.
