I am Thibaut Abadie Garcia, a watercolour artist and art director. Alongside my design work, I am developing a personal watercolour practice, fed by my travels, the places I pass through and the small moments of everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A landscape, a scene from life, a particular light or a few colours are sometimes enough to give birth to an image.<\/p>

Through my watercolours, I try less to reproduce faithfully what I see than to capture what I keep from it: an atmosphere, a feeling, a memory.<\/p>

My sketchbooks become a collection of moments, between observation, experimentation and interpretation.<\/p>

Some of these watercolours remain original drawings. Others become limited-edition art prints, designed to extend these memories beyond the sketchbook.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

In August 2026, I started sharing my work on social media.<\/p>

This experience produced 29 drawings, from seascapes and surf scenes to more abstract studies.<\/p>

This daily practice let me explore a more spontaneous approach to the image, far from the usual constraints of my graphic design projects.<\/p>

Each watercolour became a way of documenting a place, a light or a feeling.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

After this summer series, I wanted to extend the experience by giving six of these illustrations a new life.<\/p>

Selected and carefully reworked, they make up my first collection of art prints dedicated to Biarritz and the Basque coast.<\/p>

Each composition keeps the date, time and geographical coordinates of the moment it shows.<\/p>

It is a way of linking the image to a precise memory, like a page from a travel journal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

My art practice and my work as an art director feed each other.<\/p>

Watercolour gives me a more instinctive space for experimentation, where accidents, textures and colours play an essential role.<\/p>

Graphic design then comes in through how I select, compose and give an editorial form to these images.<\/p>

Two complementary approaches, brought together by the same attention to detail and visual storytelling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
