89We interviewed Anaor Karim is our Vue special-issue,
back in April 2017 (#18). Here's an excerpt:
“Yes, I live on a small island ‘lost’ in the Indian Ocean,
which is far away from big cities like Paris. But with
the Internet I can follow what is happening in the
world of 3D. My only regret is that I cannot be
present quite often at international meetings. I
console myself with the beach and the permanent sun
in any season!
I do not live full time in [the capital] Saint Denis. I
actually live in an even more remote part of the
island! [Where I can go up into] the mountains, which
in fact are volcanoes. One volcano is ‘asleep’, but the
other has been active a few times. The active volcano
is only a few miles from my house!
But I think the vast spaces of my illustrations come
more from the science fiction books that I read, such
as Frank Herbert’s Dune.”
