Graphic designer, foodstylist, chef, … CAROLINE SEIDLER is delighted to welcome her equally cosmopolitan and versatile NEW entry : illustrator KARIM BLANC from Vienna
KARIM BLANC, the gentleman with the red cap, the illustrator with the culinary knack. His compositions are analytic, witty, and critical in terms of content. Homogenous in color and far from boring. Never afraid to flex an artistic style now and again – if that’s what the client requests.
Karim Blanc was born in Iran as the child of French expats and has lived in Algeria, Burkina Faso, Lebanon, Norway, Canada, and France. He has been living in Vienna for twelve years, where he started a family. Since April 2023, he has been broadening the illustrative bandwidth at the Ambassador of Illustration.
Guided by the visual arts (painting, drawing, engraving) since studying at art school in Aix en Provence, France, and at the Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada, he has worked as a graphic designer in Montreal in the 1990s, an interior designer in the south of France in 2000, and as a chef and foodstylist in Vienna in 2010, before finally focusing mainly to digital illustration.
A focus of his visual work is on collages. He skillfully crafts multilayered compositions using photos, textures and his illustrations to document topics.
“The relationship between humans, nature and food is the focus of his commissioned work again and again.” Caroline Seidler.
He illustrates for book companies and publishing houses in the area of design, advertising and communication, … with clients including Vice Magazine, Falstaff Publishing, and Meinl am Graben. He is frequently booked for events or live illustration.

About CAROLINESEIDLER.COM
Caroline Seidler provides orientation in the thicket of possibilities for illustration, animation and conception. Long experience and empathy allow this special advice, which includes time and cost planning and project support. "There is no such thing as beautiful or ugly, the aim is to find the style that suits the briefing and storytelling, product, target group, advertising material."
Illustration for business, culture, tourism and communication. 2D, 3D, moving images. We support visual communication with illustration and animation. We focus on people's need for visual communication. We use culturally learned imagery and its psychological functions. At "The Message of Illustration carolineseidler.com" the core competence is advice.
As an expert, Caroline Seidler and her employees provide orientation and security in the thicket of possibilities: style, technology, price-performance ratio and production support. "It is always surprising and gratifying what projects and topics customers approach us with. We are known and valued in the D/A/CH economic area." The most diverse styles require a tact, the techniques require constant active engagement with new technologies and the content requires constant interest and learning: “Brainwork as a craft with a tact.”
Everyone likes to draw. A core of our cultural history is drawing, decorating, explaining, illustrating: to name just a few: representative house walls, church painting, writing as a form of drawing in books, researched maps, discovering flora and fauna, inviting film posters, political announcements, the first tourism advertisements, cartoons such as Mickey Mouse, and always: commissioned art
We build on commissioned art and make people's need for visual communication our focus. We support visual communication with illustration and animation. The development of photography pushed illustration out of the spotlight for many years: however, the trend towards valuing craftsmanship has given illustration a new place. We learned to read with pictures. Illustrators bring content to life, capture messages and needs in images, develop key visuals to appeal to consumers. Lines, composition and colors provide the impetus to delve into topics and awaken needs.
Illustrators are required to have a wide range of skills: anyone can knit socks quickly, but you need continuous practice to make a nice cable sweater. Being an illustrator is a calling. A job that is often underestimated by clients in terms of the effort, time intensity and personal commitment it requires, and at the same time unmistakably brings life to the appearance of a product or brand.
Our pool includes illustrators, animation studios, concept designers, copywriters and graphic designers who we put together according to the client's brief, individually or as a team. The carolineseidler.com office provides advice, cost and time planning and project management.
