When he came back to France, he studied animation at LISAA (Paris) and EMCA (Angoulême), where he developed his graphic design and his sense of storytelling. Sourya enters the world of comics by working as an illustrator for several albums at Ankama Edition (Rouge, Shiganai, Samsara...). In 2018, he made his first manga as an author: Talli, Fille de la Lune.
