Jillian + Betsey | Can Serrat, Sept. 2024
Jillian Adel is a multidisciplinary artist and poet whose work bridges the gap between the surreal and the metaphysical.
With an eye in the cosmos and a heart rooted in esoteric philosophy, her art delves deep into the intersection of abstraction, mysticism, and raw emotion. She explores themes of death, rebirth, and ritual, using art as spiritual inquiry—a means of grappling with the invisible forces that shape our lives. Her words and images capture moments of rupture and transformation that feel both apocalyptic and intimately introspective, inviting viewers to confront the unknown and embrace the shadowy edges of their subconscious.
She has been featured by Philadelphia Contemporary + more and was a 2024 artist-in-residence at Can Serrat in El Bruc, Barcelona.
Beyond her fine art practice, she runs an award-winning commercial art studio, Studio of Earthly Delights, and an esoteric/tarot practice called Vague Intellectual Pleasure.
