Bursting with confident characters, her work is engineered to make people feel truly seen. It’s a mission that runs through her veins, from the legacy of her illustrator mother and an appreciation for diverse mythologies and art history. But her work also crackles with her anarchic love for retro ephemera. There’s the letterforms of 60s and 70s psychedelic rock posters, the hyperreal gloss of 80s airbrush art, and the neon pulse of underground rave flyers.

Fierce portraits of Olympian Marie-Ève Paget and U23 World Cup winner Anna Ngo Ndjock blaze across the asphalt at Paris’ Centre Sportif Philippe Auguste – rendered in a retro-futurist duotone of deep purple and basketball-orange. Gouy's ability to fuse a deeply researched aesthetic with empowering messages has made her sought-after by titans like Adidas, Nike, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Nina Ricci. Her belief that “the images we make shape the world we live in,” always shines through.
