About me

EL BOUM is Berlin based illustrator Jasmina El Bouamraoui. Being a graduate at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin, their work combines bright colors, narrative figurative elements, and address historical and contemporary forms of erasure, particularly where gendered assumptions influence craft, labor, sports and the stories told about them. She creates 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.
