Jessi is a traditional artist, specialising in oil painting and mixed media. Her artwork can be described as abstract surrealism, traversing themes of identity, vulnerability and spirituality.
Jessi’s Story
Jessi is an artist and world adventurer. She was born and raised in Germany and spent the last two years traveling full time together with her partner exploring different cultures, seeking adventure & inspiration and discovering new levels of freedom.
Both painting and traveling started out as a quest for exploration driven by an inner calling, a defiance of norms, an embrace of the unknown. It took a leap of faith that bridged the gap between intention and action. A van, a void, a canvas and a bag full of paint.
Determined to bring her dreams to life, Jessi began studying art sufficiently in 2022. She enrolled in The Milan Art Institute's Mastery Program and grew her skills over the course of the last two years.
She frequently works in a hybrid between traditional mediums and modern elements. In doing so, Jessi is able to preserve the intricacies of oil painting while creating a sense of modernity in palette and texture. Starting with her own story in mind, Jessi depicts a multi-layered raw, yet dreamy and deep world trough the use of texture and imagery found in the natural world.
By articulating and sharing her own stories, Jessi aims to foster communion, and invite conversation around all facets of the human experience. She aims to highlight human vulnerability as a strength and shows an appreciation for raw genuiness and honesty in her paintings, while illuminating the divine spark within us all.
Jessi uses her artistic voice to translate and uncover the layers of our lives, to to depict transformation and beauty, challenging the depths of perception by expanding the boundaries of what we understand.
“Art is life and life is art. I never separate the two. Emerging myself in creating gives me another view of life. By now it is very clear to me that I paint what’s on the other side of the tunnel, a life in transformation & challenge. I display vulnerability and transformation and I paint nature as a fuel for life. My life and artistic work is wholesome in its consistency.”
