romi is an artist and designer living on a corner of Angoulême, France. You may know her work from multiple exhibitions in Montreal, New-York, Tokyo and Hong-Kong, various book fairs, and also for her terrible cats, Alto and Morille.
Born in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France, the rendezvous point of an insufferable bourgeoisie, romi grew up in Moscow, Russia, where she survived the 2002 Nord-Ost siege, and then some other places, until she landed in Bordeaux, France, where she lived most of her young adult life, studied psychology, and then bookselling as well as book publishing. Bordeaux is also known for its insufferable bourgeoisie, but also for housing the famous “bored hot communist” Philippe Poutou. In 2024, she moved to a smaller, quieter place, Angoulême. Although it’s not known for housing famous communists, Angoulême is nonetheless known internationally for the Angoulême International Comics Festival, also known as the FIBD. She doesn’t enjoy writing about herself in the third person.
