Jessica Baldivieso uses art to explore space and experience. Currently working as a studio artist in Dallas, Baldivieso’s work focuses on painting a linear space on a flat surface, suggesting depth and perspective. Her paintings are not a narrative, but the result of a long and slow process of discovering space through the act of painting. Her focus is on the abstract idea of painting space and seeing specific materials merging together, performing as a unity, in a total act of presentation, a one-time event. Her use of vibrant colors or the lack of color like in her recent white paintings is always very intentional and focused on a specific experience. The vibration of color and interaction of lines creates a sort of movement and almost irrational feeling to the logic of the color relationship and perspective. In contrast to the paintings with vibrant colors, the white paintings' lack of color allows for a focus on texture and the play of light in the different depths of the lines. Jessica Baldivieso was born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia 1991. She received both a BS in Architecture (2014) and a BA in Art Studio (2016) from the University of Arkansas. She had her first solo exhibition at MAC Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, 2019. Her work was selected to be part of the 21st International Visual Arts Biennial, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, 2020.
