Iratxe López de Munáin illustrates an interactive art kit on the life of a Master Impressionist.

Iratxe teamed up with Thames & Hudson UK to bring The Artist Box: Claude Monet vividly to life through her lively, colourful illustrations.

Designed as part of the 'Gift Lab' series, this engaging 24‑page activity kit immerses young audiences in Monet’s world. It features a 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of his Giverny garden, a fact‑filled fold‑out timeline tracing his life and personal dramas, twenty‑four creative art activities (from origami water lilies to a Monet-themed mystery), and even an iron‑on patch  - all richly illustrated by Iratxe.

Opening the box reveals not only a puzzle where you can spot Monet’s studio boat, wife Camille, and characters from his famous paintings, but also invites users to experiment with his artistic techniques via fun hands-on prompts. Iratxe’s illustrations transform educational content into a playful, tactile journey that both celebrates Monet’s legacy and encourages budding artists to explore creativity in a memorable, interactive format.
