Brunnquell was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and started working as an art director for Encore magazine after graduating from high school.
The popularity of Purple helped boosting his own career, and since then he has been working with art direction and design consultancy for, among others, Louis Vuitton, the Venice Biennale, Le Figaro's fashion guide, Fabien Baron, Colette, Balenciaga, Céline, Cosmic Wonder, and Zucca.
In 2004 Brunnquell launched Carnaval magazine, a publication mainly displaying his own art work.
[3] In an interview by Yasushi Fujimoto, Brunnquell explained his wish to work more or less full-time as an artist in the near future; and that his motifs are inspired by Japanese Yōkai (ghosts).
In 2009 he collaborated with Italian agency Studio Blanco [1] for Carte Blanche, a capsule collection project designed for Sportmax (Max Mara Group).
