Azize Ferizi

Born 1996, lives and works in Geneva.

Azize Ferizi has immersed herself into painting, skillfully expressing profound ideas and concepts through vivid imagery, effectively utilizing them as a form of language or discourse. Her artistic focus centers on the meticulous depiction of figurative bodies, often placed within constrained frames or poses, with a predominant emphasis on feminine forms. Continually contemplating questions of size and format as potent physical forces, she adeptly represents bodies that occasionally find themselves awkwardly imposed in the social space, predestining their roles in harmony with the canvas itself.
