ARTIST
VINCENT BIWER
He is a freelance illustrator, born in 1986. Originally from Basbellain in the north of Luxembourg, he now lives in Liège. A lifelong fan of fantasy and manga, he made a pivotal discovery in his twenties: drawing is a skill that can be learned and refined. This realisation led him to pursue a formal education at Saint-Luc and the Académie des Beaux-Arts of Liège. Since completing his studies, Vincent has applied his artistic talents to various illustration projects.
