Hello, I'm Gisela Goppel, an illustrator based in Regensburg, Germany. I studied Design at the University of the Arts in Berlin and Illustration in Barcelona before becoming a full-time illustrator. When I'm not drawing, you'll probably find me outdoors, hiking in the mountains, swimming in rivers, or trying to keep my vegetable garden alive.
In my illustrations, I strive to create work that stands on its own. By balancing abstract and narrative elements, I explore ways to visualize emotions, shape atmospheres, and give form to identities. Each illustration is an attempt to translate intangible ideas into a visual language that is both personal and open to interpretation.
