About the author

"Djamila is an independent artist and Schoolism instructor, based in Leipzig (Germany).

She creates illustrations that evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia, and primarily focuses on personal projects. When you look at her work, you might catch a glimpse of the summers she spent strolling through the woods and fields around her grandparents' garden, and you might also see her love for Japanese animation.

If you want to be transported into a world where fantasy and reality blend into one another and that feels strange, yet familiar, you might enjoy her work. The scenes she's painting are the counterpart to our modern, hectic society: places of quiet contemplation, where nature prevails over concrete.

Art is her first love, but when she's not drawing or painting, she enjoys karaoke, bouldering, eating out, reading, travelling, riding collercoasters, and binge-watching tv shows." (source: http://www.djamilaknopf.com/about-1)
