Max Jeann is a Swiss artist, illustrator, and comic book author. She weaves together drawing, comics, and experimental animation to create poetic, humorous worlds that sometimes veer slightly off course. After studying visual arts in Switzerland at EDHEA and animation filmmaking at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Israel, Max Jeann has continued her practice through artist residencies around the world, including in Finland, Canada, France, Switzerland, and Belgium. The canton of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) awarded her a residency of six months at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris and six months in Brussels.
Her work has been exhibited in several galleries and fairs
including Drawing Now in Paris, the Drawing Biennial of Namur in Belgium, and Galerie C in Neuchâtel.
After devouring half a ton of comic books, Max Jeann turned toward storytelling. She collaborates with Éditions Spiegelei, joined the collective La Bûche, and, following her selection for the Graphic Novel and Visual Narratives residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Canada), began work on the first pages of Pétrole, for a Slice of Pie, her first graphic novel, published by Éditions Pépites.Club in November 2025.
