Stanislas Couzi-Betancourt
Founder of Jericho Fine Art / Artistic Director
Stanislas Couzi-Betancourt is a French-Colombian artistic director & art curator inspired by the worldview of the Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung. Stanislas' quest for meaning inspired him to create the nomad gallery Jericho Fine Art and artistically direct projects dealing with archetypal stories. For his inaugural exhibition, Stanislas sent Elisabeth Skogland's painting of Christ and Ekatherina Savtchenko's painting of Persephone to the edge of Space in order to reenact the ascension of both divine figures. With the meaningful projects he conceptualizes and creates, Stanislas aims to shed light on humanity's ancient wisdom and put forward in a contemporary way, the stories that have marked humanity.

Elisabeth Skogland
Elisabeth is a French-Norwegian, self-taught artist. At an early age, she quickly realized that drawing was something she was naturally skilled at. She chose to pursue it and improve her creative talent. Being fascinated by the human body and inspired by Old Master paintings, Elisabeth focused on drawing the human form and honing her skills of realistic depiction. At the age of 17, she ventured into oil painting, which opened a whole new realm to realistically depict men and women. Elisabeth's artworks display her exceptional talent to paint the human anatomy in great detail. Being also passionate about self-realization and esotericism, she has pursued the portrayal of mystical symbolism by combining the skill of the Old Masters with contemporary art.
