Fanouchka, Fanny Prades, was born on 15 November 1982 and loved to draw and paint early and ever since. As a self-taught artist, she paints imaginary friends with a variety of media that come into their hands and draws inspiration from anxiety and agoraphobia to a lot of colorful characters. "If seated in front of a white sheet, I'm going to behave as a beginner: this is what I particularly love when I do some drawing." In Pezenas, a French village known for its handicrafts, she opened a boutique together with a longtime friend, where they sell their own creations and those of friends and she put drawings on Ebay in early 2013 for the first time.

At the age of 19, together with her brother, she was in Mexico near Oaxaca,where she rented a hut where she offered hammock to rent for the night. Later, she met a Thai in Thailand, with whom she led a Thai restaurant in France, together with her friedn before he returned to his country.
