Julie Marabelle is a French artist and designer known for her delicate paper cuttings and colourful visual worlds. With a background in Environmental Art in Architecture from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués (Olivier de Serres, Paris) and a First-Class BA in Set and Costume Design from Central Saint Martins (London), her work bridges art, design, and storytelling.
Cutting through large sheets of paper, she envisions playful and delicate universes, drawing inspiration from the places she has lived and visited. Cities and nature are her major sources of inspiration, and her work is a continuous exploration of shapes, patterns, and colours — expressed through paper cuttings, drawings, and paintings.
Julie’s art has been exhibited internationally in Paris, London, and Tokyo, and she has collaborated with renowned clients such as Issey Miyake, the V&A Museum, Spaces, and The Londoner Hotel Macao.
With over 17 years of experience running her own design studio Famille Summerbelle, Julie has worked across scales — from small bespoke commissions to large-scale set designs and commercial art projects. She has collaborated with architects, art consultants, and global brands, always bringing her refined eye for detail, strong sense of colour, and dedication to craftsmanship.
