Doria Adoukè is a London-based French Black woman artist, illustrator, and author, creating and designing since 2009 and launching her brand online in 2018 She specialises in fashion illustrations, graphic novels, and thoughtful stationery.

Doria’s aesthetic is a fusion of various cultures influenced by her travels and life experience. From an early age, she experienced a multi-cultural environment in Madagascar, surrounded by a rich mix of ethnicities and backgrounds. Later, growing up in France in a more mono-cultural classroom setting as the only Black student, she developed a deep appreciation for diversity, inclusion, and representation.

Her primary aspiration is to pay tribute to these multicultural influences and to celebrate Black women. Doria started by drawing Black women because she wanted to see more figures who physically look like her, representation that is still lacking in mainstream media.

Her art is created using a mixed-media approach, combining pencil, digital graphic design, and watercolour. Alongside her graphic novels and books, she creates professional book covers, custom art commissions, personalised portraits, and brand logos.

Over the years, Doria Adoukè has showcased her work at renowned events and cultural markets across the UK, including the Black Culture Market and the Black British Book Festival.

Her comics and illustrations can be found on her blog and Instagram page.

Through her online shop, Doria offers a unique collection of creative products designed to empower and delight, including greeting cards, wellness guides, planners and colouring books, calendars, and art prints. Every piece is crafted so you can find a unique, meaningful gift that truly represents and celebrates the women and girls in your life.
