Nikola THE TUTOR

After three years at a visual communication school in Paris, Nicolas Le Tutour began his career at Publicis. He also started out as a model maker in volume illustration. Then, he raised his dough and let his brushes grow. He became a painter then an illustrator and gradually moved towards comic strips and humorous drawings.

Under various signatures, he alternately creates signs, makes trompe-l'oeil, works as a press cartoonist, exhibits his paintings (winner of the 2018 competition of the Museum of Fantastic Arts in Brussels where his work is exhibited). He collaborates on various comic book projects under the "Niko" signature, humorous for some, historical (youth-adult-general public) for others. He illustrates books in paper and digital editions in universes ranging from Science Fiction to Fantasy.

Since 2015 he has also been illustrating in role-playing games; he was a concept artist for a video game production studio. Sometimes he collaborates with consulting firms as a brand consultant and communication media in companies or business schools, which earned him the nickname "polymorphic illustrator" from a colleague.

Nicolas is also a press cartoonist for the newspaper Le Télégramme , the magazine Le Peuple Breton , the magazine Insectes , Glad Breizh, Pif Gadget, Penn Bazh…

In 2020, he returned to his first love and created a collection of oils on canvas dedicated to bees. He exhibited his first collection in May-June 2022, which earned him his first distinction, a prize awarded by the LPO. Since then, he has continued to create paintings on this theme which is very dear to him. Nicolas Le Tutour joined the KERLUXY Art Gallery in September 2022 where his paintings are on exclusive sale.
