Nicolas Presl
, b. 1976
Nicolas Presl was born in Vendée in 1976. He graduated in Arts at Haute-Bretagne University in Rennes. He started his career as a stone mason, yet later became a well-known French author of graphic novels created with a very characteristic drawing manner – inspired, as he claims, by George Grosz, Pablo Picasso and Francis Picabia – with stories based on his outstanding erudition. His other works are: Divine colonie (2008) with the plot set in 15th-century Italy and an unnamed African colony; Fabrica (2009) situated in a huge military factory and Les fils de l'ours père (2010). In 2010 he also started collaborating as a teacher with the French Victor-Hugo High School in Sophia, Bulgaria.
