About atelier mio
Raised on Comté cheese from Franche-Comté and Marseille bouillabaisse, I now live and create in Lyon, right at the crossroads of these two culinary regions. Working under the name atelier mio, good food and daily drawing have been the center of my life since childhood.
Through my colorful still lifes, vibrant table scenes, and cozy home interiors, I love to awaken the pure comfort of a shared meal or a quiet afternoon spent inside.
Inspired by the seasons, nostalgia, and my family of bons vivants, my work is a gentle celebration of fresh produce, warm spaces, and the slow, beautiful moments we spend gathered around the table or simply unwinding at home.

FAQ
What is a paint by numbers?
Paint by numbers is a creative technique where a numbered illustration guides you through painting step by step. It is a great way to relax after a long day, when you feel like you need a moment to yourself for a little self-care or to paint together with a friend. No prior experience is needed and everything is included inside the painting set. It also makes one of the most thoughtful and creative presents you can gift to your loved ones.
I am not an artist. Are the kits suitable for beginners?
Our painting sets are currently made for +14 years old and adults only (psssst... we're working on a kids and family line so stay tuned!).
They are designed for all skill levels, regardless of artistic experience. If you often find yourself wondering "what should I paint?", our sets take away the fear of blank canvas and make it easier for you to flow.
What materials do you use? Where are the kits produced?
We are a family brand that cares about doing things thoughtfully. We don't claim to be perfect, but we are committed to making considered choices at every step.
Our painting sets are made in Europe and assembled in Germany. Our brushes are made of wood and synthetic bristles. The paint is water-based, made of 98% biosourced binder. We use 350 g thick, textured paper that comes from sustainably managed forests. Our packaging box and instruction leaflet are printed of 100% recycled paper.
We test-paint every illustration ourselves, if we wouldn’t proudly hang it on our own walls, it doesn’t make it into the collection.
