Quibe

Artists viewing_room
Quibe
Paris, France
Quibe's drawings are the exemplary case of how much a single line has to offer to the viewer. Since 2012, Quibe has been creating from Paris imaginary worlds, suggested portraits, plants and objects in the most minimalist way possible. His graphic one-line illustrations capture moments, movement and different perspectives with an elegant essentialist touch.
  • THE ARTIST

    "The theme in my art is always connection—the way one line, uninterrupted, can connect everything in a piece. It reflects life in many ways: how everything is linked, even if the connections aren’t obvious at first glance." 

    Born in 1970 in the Parisian area and raised in the Pacific, Christophe Louis (Quibe) first intended to study literature, before devoting himself to his passion for drawing. Art studies at the IPMD Paris led him to join an advertising agency as Artistic Director (Leo Burnett) then Creative Director at Melville, still in advertising or at Pumpkin (animation studio).

  • "My process always starts with observation and reflection. I think about the core of what I want to express—what needs to remain, and what can be left out. Once I have that clarity, I work digitally or with pen and paper to create each piece in one continuous movement. There’s a flow and spontaneity in this technique that I really enjoy; it feels almost meditative. Whether it’s a portrait, an object, or a scene, the challenge is always to maintain the balance between simplicity and impact."

    Over time, Quibe’s illustration work within the advertising world grew increasingly significant, eventually leading him to pursue drawing as his primary profession. The discovery of the one-line technique became a turning point—showing him that a single, continuous stroke could carve out his unique path while inviting others to follow along. As the ink flows, Quibe strives to reveal the invisible threads that connect us, capturing fleeting moments and movements to make them timeless and unforgettable. His minimalist yet intricate style has attracted the attention of major brands such as Mont Blanc, Giorgio Armani, British Airways, Audi, and Renaissance Hotels, who have sought his artistry for campaigns, advertisements, and marketing projects.

    "I’m deeply inspired by simplicity and the elegance of form. I love how a single, unbroken line can hold so much power—it can suggest movement, emotion, and personality without needing excess detail. I often draw inspiration from human connections, natural forms, and everyday life. These inspirations manifest in my work as I strive to strip each subject down to its essence, letting the line speak for itself."
