Jessica Rimondi is an Italian artist currently living in Berlin.She graduated in mixed media fine art at the University of Westminster of London and studied at the Accademia Albertina di Torino, Italy.
Jessica elaborates upon seemingly quotidian activities in her paintings and installations, turning small moments and ordinary objects into deeper explorations of human emotions, feelings, and memories.
Her work is thus conceived as a congruence between pop culture and ancestry, playing around the idea of functionality, perception and value through the use of different techniques.
Gesture is at the forefront of her expressive paintings, germinating from her own photos, were common Objects and random situation photographed around visited places, sounds and processes, revealing a shift from nature to human, daily and historical. Her works are sort of microcosm questioning the value of little things that lead us wondering about them gleaning from our personal experiences.
