🌈 Rainbow, by @mariamedem - New book available So excited to release this new book, available in bookstores from the 4th of December, and from now on on our (new!) website 🎉 Through seven chromatic narratives, Rainbow explores the emotional resonance of color as a state of consciousness, a fragment of memory, or a physical sensation. Each story unfolds an inner world bathed in a dominant hue – red, yellow, indigo, orange, violet, cyan, green – playing out the score of each tone. These narratives evoke delicate relationships between beings, gestures of care, and shared silences. The universal nature of these movements, coupled with a sequence rich in ellipses, opens up a vast space for interpretation, where each reader can project their feelings, memories, or dreams, beyond language and generations. Maria Medem’s graphic work, both minimal and vibrant, plays with solid and empty spaces, repetition and transformation, to create an almost meditative reading tempo. Each page invites you to slow down, to feel, and to turn back. The drawing, always at the service of a carefully structured narration, asserts itself as a language of its own. 🖼️ Launch and exhibition at the (new) @librairiesanstitre on December 4th, 18:00. Original paintings and special clothes will be on sale. More infos this week! 📚✍️ Maria will be signing her book at @la.friche the next day, December 5th, 7pm. 📐Technicals details December 2025 First edition of 2,500 copies Cover design by @jeanphilippebretin Chromie by @_jerome.dubois_ 19,5 × 27,5 cm, 160 pages Modified 4PMS Offset ISBN 978-2-492290-26-8

Poster for Como Todo Mortal a film by @mariamolinapeiro , some stills from the movie and a reference of William Blake🪜🌀 Muchas gracias a María por haberme confiado el cartel de su película, muy feliz de haber podido formar parte de algún modo de este proyecto. El título, Como Todo Mortal, hace referencia a un cante de El Cabrero, que justo nos ha dejado hoy, y Aznalcóllar, su pueblo y sus minas, es protagonista de la historia que ha rodado María. Así que sirva esto también como un pequeño homenaje a este cantaor que nos ha influenciado a tantas. Vengo del ronco tambor de la luna En la memoria del puro animal Soy una astilla de tierra que vuelve Hacia su antigua raíz mineral ⛏️

RAINBOW LANDS IN CHINA 🌈 Phillus × Studio Fidèle | China Premiere of Rainbow Phillus is proud to present the Chinese premiere of Rainbow, the wordless book by Spanish artist María Medem, at the Shanghai International Illustration Festival. Rainbow brings together seven short visual narratives, each exploring a color of the spectrum. Balancing visual poetry and silent comics, the book reflects María Medem’s unique language—fluid, intuitive, and deeply immersive. Her work moves across illustration, comics, and graphic storytelling, creating open reading experiences where images unfold their own rhythm, space, and time. Curated in collaboration with Shanghai Illustration Town, this exhibition reinterprets the book into a spatial experience. Alongside artworks, visitors can read Rainbow on site and watch a short film introducing the project. The exhibition has received outstanding feedback, marking a powerful step in introducing French-language original books to the Chinese audience through exhibition formats. Phillus will continue working with Studio Fidèle to bring more original publications to China through curated exhibitions and cross-cultural projects. ✨ The exhibition is ongoing — see you in Shanghai @phillus_official @mariamedem @studio_fidele #IllustrationCulture #mariamedem #illustration
