Jelena Bizel is a Serbian artist and illustrator based in Luxemburg. Graduated in Graphic design at the Merz Academy in Stuttgart (Germany), she published her first book “Selbststigmatisierung” in 2014 where she expressed through illustrations and texts the psychological consequences of exclusion and integration of people in a community.
Her passion for psychology and sociology led Jelena to work on illustrations that reflect split personality within every human being. To express the multiplicity of one person, she developed a specific technic through the use of several layers of transparent paper in order to highlight different perspectives and emotions.
Her work as a fine artist can be found in public areas, like in hotels, but she also sold some of her paintings to private art lovers. Her work makes her travel a lot between Luxemburg, Belgrade, Stuttgart and Paris.
Her work is an initial research on the process of awakening and transforming of women. The choice of paper is symbolic, invisible, untouchable, multi-layered, variable just like the character of a woman. Illustrations in several layers of transparent paper reflect the development and changes in the emotions of a woman, and the presence of flowers symbolizes beauty, change, awakening through which the woman passes through her life.
