Born in Pau in 1980, Guillaume Trouillard decided as early as kindergarten that he would become a comic book artist. In 1998, he enrolled at the Angoulême School of Fine Arts, and two years later founded the collective Les 6 berbères sont douze, which exhibited at the Angoulême Festival.

In 2003, he launched Éditions de la Cerise and the graphic arts magazine Clafoutis. In 2007, he received the Audience Award at the Bassillac Festival, as well as the 2008 Libération Readers’ Comic Book Award for *Colibri*, a comic book inspired by Chinese megacities. The following year, he and his colleague Samuel Stento were awarded the Fnac-Sinsentido Prize for La Saison des Flèches, which was also part of the official selection at the 2010 Angoulême Festival. The Aquaviva project was launched that same year but put on hold following the birth of his first daughter, during which time he began work on Welcome, Inventaire pour l'enfant qui vient de naître, which was published in 2013. In 2020, he published Les Quatre détours de Song Jiang, a hand-crafted accordion book paying homage to Chinese scrolls, with Alex Chauvel as the writer. He will repeat the experience in 2024 with *Sur un grand chemin*, an accordion-book reproduction of a fresco on the history of humanity, created in 2016 in collaboration with historians and exhibited at the Espace Chemins-Bideak in Saint-Palais.

He is the 2021 recipient of the comic book residency at the Villa Medici in Rome.
