A StickerApp Interview Written by Nora 2024-06-11
With a passion for vivid colors and 60s/70s rock vibes, Capucine Mattiussi creates endlessly imaginative illustrations. Her work showcases a humorous, sunny view of the world, inspired by her Mediterranean roots.
StickerApp: How would you define your style?
Capucine: After an exhibition, I saw my work described as "sweet but psychedelic," and I thought it was super cool, so I've stuck with it since!
StickerApp: What's your favorite technique?
Capucine: I would say acrylic painting on wood. There's something magical about working by hand. Currently, I'm using Posca pens a lot, water-based paint markers. I created a travel journal with them in Mexico, and I really love the result!

StickerApp: Who or what's your biggest inspiration?
Capucine: Without a doubt, music and album covers. I always create while listening to music; it helps me immerse myself in a creative mindset. Sometimes, I get lost in record stores to find old vinyl records. A place of images and sounds!
StickerApp: How did it all start?
Capucine: I've always been passionate about visual art and imagery, but since I'm not very good at photography, I turned to drawing to express my ideas more easily. And it clicked!
StickerApp: Do you have a tip for those who are starting out?
Capucine: Asking for feedback on your work is essential for progress. It's quite a solitary profession, so it's important to be able to discuss it. Of course, it's important to filter opinions and follow your instincts.
