Jilliane Sparks
When art becomes life
Life
Jilliane T. was born on 2, February 1990 in Solothurn, Switzerland, as a second child.
Already as a child from 4 years, she developed a deep interest in art, music and dancing. Growing up with a older brother who always made music, she danced a lot and started listening to different music genres, while her main focus always was on finding a profession that included drawing and creativity. Around the age of 14 she started with photography, as one more way to show the people the world trough her eyes. ​
After her school time, she made her education as a office worker and worked part time in different jobs. Her goal was studying and working as a veterinarian, she stopped her normal work and started working voluntary from home for animal welfare from 2015 to 2018. What she had to stop, when she moved to a new apartment, where she wasn't able to take up stray cats anymore.
She started working full with her art since then.
Painting
Since she could hold her first pen, she drew more then most children.
When she came to manga and anime trough Sailor Moon in the age of 6 years, she started ​to draw these figures.
She saved up all her money for pencils and a computer, to go into digital drawing.
Even after her wish, to go to a graphic design school, failed, she never lost her passion.
She started working part times and educated herself in art.
​
Music
Always surrounded by music trough her older brother and father, she tried her skills on the keyboard free until she got piano lessons.
She often was singing on her way to school and at home for herself.
When she first started listening to Rap music around the age of 10, she tried to write her own lyrics. She never was confident enough to show it to someone. She even stopped playing piano completly with 15.
Her brother, Schach Odermatt shows her occasionally how to mix with vinyl.
In 2018 she started creating her own melodies, which she considers publishing.
