Rutu Modan

Visual Communication Design

“My visual storytelling is not only an artistic choice, but also an expression of a personal worldview that continues to evolve through my comics stories, while inspiring my other professional pursuits—the illustration of children's books and teaching. I aim to explore new ways of expression, to enhance clarity and accuracy, and to take active responsibility for the evolution of this field and its audience.”

Modan is a renowned, award-winning illustrator and comics artist. She is a graduate of the Visual Communication department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and is a lecturer there. She is the recipient of numerous illustration and comics awards, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the Eisner Award, four-time winner of the Israel Museum Ben-Yitzhak Award for the Illustration of a Children’s Book, and more.

Modan was nominated for the 2020 Edmond de Rothschild Design Award for Established Visual Communication Designers.
