Marie-laure Cruschi

Je n’ai pas pour habitude de me montrer… mais la réalisation de mon dernier livre m’a demandé d’essayer de sortir du bois pour dévoiler un peu de ma personne… Alors voila, pour tous ceux qui découvrent mon univers ici, je me présente.😊 Je m’appelle marie-laure Cruschi. J’ai toujours été passionnée de design et d’architecture. J’ai débuté avec de simples formes géométriques que j’assemblais pour réaliser des images, des typos et des objets… L’illustration était alors un territoire d’expérimentation, un petit laboratoire graphique. Progressivement mon vocabulaire s’est enrichi, ma sensibilité à la couleur et mon intérêt pour des formes plus narratives et plus picturales s’est affirmé. J’ai commencé à privilégier une approche plus sensible que conceptuelle. Mon livre "Cabins" témoigne de cette évolution. Et puis j’ai eu un enfant. Ce qui a naturellement soulevé la question de la transmission. J’ai alors trouvé un territoire d’expression entre le documentaire et l’art. J’y questionne notre regard sur le monde réel et tente d’y partager une approche imprégnée de poésie. Dans mon travail d’auteur, fond et forme sont toujours liés par le désir de produire la surprise ou l’émerveillement. Mes livres "Colorama" et "L’odyssée des graines" suivent ce sillon. Merci @chloevollmerlo pour ce portrait tout en douceur. 📸💫

🏆I’m delighted to announce that the German edition of "L’odyssée des graines" (Samen) is one of the 5 best garden books of the year awarded by the prestigious DGG Garden Book Prize 2026. — Since 1957, the German Horticultural Society 1822 e.V. has been awarding prizes to authors of outstanding gardening books that combine knowledge, passion, and creativity.

Spring is just around the corner, and « L’odyssée des graines » is taking up residence in the gardens! 🪴 More than twenty illustrations, all reproduced in giant format, are on display in the heart of the flourishing gardens of the Toulouse Museum. Located in the Borderouge district, this wonderful garden invites visitors on a sensitive and educational stroll where the lines of my illustrations interact with the architecture of the site, and my stories resonate with the great diversity of plants cultivated there.🌱🌸 — Come and discover the ingenuity of the plant world and recharge your batteries in a wonderful garden. — Thank you to the museum team for this beautiful natural setting. — Exhibition: L’odyssée des graines - le génie de la nature illustré par Cruschiform Les Jardins du muséum à Borderouge - Toulouse until May 31, 2026 — #garden #nature #exhibition #seeds
