The Louis Vuitton Travel Book collection is an invitation to travel, both real and virtual. Within its pages, illustrations by renowned artists and promising young talents tell the story of the cities and countries they have visited, depicting the diverse architecture and unique light of each place, bearing witness to the passing days and the lives of its inhabitants. The Travel Book offers a fresh and contemporary vision of travel, encompassing both remote wilderness areas and cities that never sleep. Each artist explores a destination through their chosen medium. The creative worlds presented are incredibly diverse: drawing, painting, collage, contemporary art, illustration, comics, and manga. In this volume, French artist and illustrator Aurore de la Morinerie explores the Mediterranean Sea, the world's largest inland sea, and its ecosystem, from its deepest depths to its surface. Nature is omnipresent in the work of the artist, born in Saint-Lô in 1962. She also creates black and white photographs, which are an integral part of her work. While studying fashion design at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré in Paris, Aurore de la Morinerie developed a passion for Chinese painting and calligraphy, which profoundly influenced her work. Since the 1990s, she has collaborated regularly with luxury brands and leading designers, and her work has been featured in prestigious fashion magazines, as well as in group and solo exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide.
