As a craftsman of light by the use of gold, silver or copper leaves, the first job of an illuminator is to adorn and magnify the books.

Today, he also creates unique pieces in the form of paintings and must master parchment, drawing, tempera painting and the use of precious metal sheets. Graduate of the ISEEM (European Higher Institute of Illumination and Manuscript), Elisabeth has kept this centuries-old tradition by illuminating art books since 2002 but also by creating unique works in which she shows that the illumination can be as well of medieval as contemporary inspiration.
