B. 1982 Jessica Moritz is a French-Israeli artist based in Tel Aviv. She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) in Paris and has received several distinctions, including the LVMH Young Artist Award (2006), the Takasago Prize (2008), and an artist grant from the Israeli Ministry of Immigration and Culture (2023). Her work is guided by the search for balance within chaos, translating experiences of light, space, and emotion into geometric forms and harmonies of color. Light functions both as a medium and as a muse, inspiring her through its endless spectrum of color, its fleeting moments of grace, and its dialogue with architecture. From these explorations, she develops “mindscapes,” utopian architectures and impossible geometries that expand perception. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement and by Josef Albers’ theories of color, Moritz creates works that often incorporate optical illusions, destabilizing logic and suggesting alternative ways of seeing. The Bauhaus heritage visible in Tel Aviv’s architecture deepens her investigation of space and color, encouraging her to cultivate a personal, experimental approach to these materials. Sustainability plays an essential role in her practice. She reclaims and repurposes materials gathered during her travels, transforming them through a process that gives them renewed purpose. By privileging reuse over consumption, she challenges wasteful production and aims to create art that is both visionary and responsible.
