Pernod Ricard's international artist residency programme selects illustration graduates from from the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs – PSL to travel to countries where the Group operates, where they are immersed across the business and create original illustrations.
In 2025, Armelle Antier travelled to Ireland, Astrid Guinet to Japan and Jules Fournier to Turkey.
Astrid Guinet
Residency location: Japan
Armelle holds a degree in interior design from Arts Décoratifs de Paris - PSL. Since then, she has been working as an artist and illustrator, with a keen interest in any creative work related to a specific place, use or history.
“Spending two months in a different country, discovering new people and new places, makes us feel truly alive. What I will take away from this residency is the importance of feeling connected.”
Jules Fournier
Residency location: Türkiye
With a degree in printmaking from ENSAD in 2024, Jules is inspired by his suburb of Marne-la-Vallée, its landscapes, its construction sites and the workers who bring them to life. He aspires to become both a printmaker and a visual artist, through photography, oil painting and printmaking.
« I was amazed by the size of the city, the buildings and the kindness of the inhabitants. I worked a lot with light, which was both warm and omnipresent. It was truly a unique experience.»
