Editorial Cartoonist
Caricatures & Visual Satire
In My Own Words
I'm Camara Solia. 39 years old, born in Dakar, raised in Paris, based in Montreal. My pencil is my weapon. My ink is my blood. Since I was 15, I've been drawing what words don't dare say.
I grew up admiring Plantu, Charb, Cabu, and the New Yorker cartoonists. They taught me that editorial cartooning isn't illustration — it's journalism. A good editorial cartoon says in one image what an editorial takes 1,000 words to explain. And it stays engraved in memory far longer.
My philosophy is simple: nobody is above satire. Presidents, CEOs, tech gurus, influencers — everyone gets the treatment. But I never draw out of cruelty. I draw out of love for truth and allergic reaction to hypocrisy.
Every evening, I look at the day's news and pick THE topic that makes me react. The one that makes me raise an eyebrow, clench my teeth, or burst out laughing. And I draw. My style is recognizable: clean ink lines, exaggerated proportions, expressive faces, subtle colors. Like a Charlie Hebdo cover crossed with New Yorker elegance.
My cartoons are bilingual — title and caption in French and English. Because satire has no borders.
NOTE: I NEVER draw hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic or discriminatory content. My satire targets the POWERFUL, the SYSTEMS, the DECISIONS — never peoples, religions or identities. The difference between satire and hate is intelligence.
