Clara Lodewick

Clara Lodewick (1996) grew up between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking linguistic communities. She attended the drawing academy of Saint-Gilles. As a teenager, she moved to Flanders and continued her artistic training at Hal’s Academy. Then she became a student at LUCA in Brussels. She is interested in people’s lives in both their relationships and their problems, and the social inequalities they face.

In 2022, she published Merel, her first graphic novel, which was also translated into Dutch. It is a story about harassment in rural areas. The novel reached the official selection of the best album of the year, the Fauve d’or of the Angoulême Festival in 2023.

Clara lives and works wherever her van brings her.
