Helena Klakočar (born 1958) is a Croatian artist alternative cartoonist known for her autobiographical, social, and political observations.
Helena Klakočar was born in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, into an ethnic Croat family.
When she was seven years old her family moved to Maribor, Slovenia, where she attended primary and grammar school.
On a small catamaran during the winter she was capturing daily life and memories of her homeland in drawings and text, depicted in her award-winning graphic novel "Restless Sea 1" (in French "Passage en douce") which is translated into several languages.
She received a grant by Fonds BKVB, Amsterdam, and later from Centre de la livre, Paris, to continue with this story.
