The Kidnapping – TIME Magazine – Simon Prades

 

The Kidnapping – TIME Magazine – Simon Prades (Debut Art, Editorial Commissions, illustrator)

 

Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine

Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine. The cover feature is about the fate of kidnapped Ukrainian children and how that has been pushed to the edges of the peace process, intensifying fears across the country that they may never come home. The longer they remain in Russia, the more difficult it will be to return and reintegrate them, as the effect of Russian propaganda and indoctrination takes hold over time.

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.
