About

EL BOUM is Berlin based illustrator Jasmina El Bouamraoui.

A graduate of the Berlin University of the Arts and the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin, their work combines bright colours and narrative figurative elements to address historical and contemporary forms of erasure, particularly where gendered assumptions influence craft, labour, sports, and the stories told about them. They create visual archives that counter omission, reframe overlooked perspectives and open spaces for imagining future narratives.

​

Their multidisciplinary practice ranges from illustration and painting to large-scale works on wood, where materiality, surface, and craft processes play a central role.
