Born in 1977, Sylvain Dorange studied art under the direction of acclaimed professor, Claude Lapointe (Arts DÃĐcoratifs, Strasbourg). He was encouraged to develop his original and naturally poetic graphic style. His first professional works include adaptations of French indie director, Robert GuÃĐdiguianâs, movies into sequential arts: Les contes de l'Estaque (EP ÃĐditions). He then went on to illustrate Les promeneur du temps, a series of three volumes created with Franck Viale (Poivre & Sel Editions). In 2015, the versatile author created the cover art for singer Sanseverinoâs album about the life of French convict, Henri CharriÃĻre. From that work, the duo (along with CÃĐcile Richard) created a graphic novel, Sanseverino est Papillon. Also a composer, an animation director and a political cartoonist, Sylvain Dorange shows the range of his exceptional talents in Hedy Lamarr: An Incredible Life. His unique art style gives the graphic novel its mark.
