Jessica Alazraki
Whose work are you loving these days?
I was selected for a group exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery, “Winner Takes All” and I love the other artist who show along. Sophia-Yemisi Adeyemo-Ross, Aplerh-Doku Borlabi, YoYo Lander, Anoushka Mirchandani, Zéh Palito, Adjei Tawiah, Nigatu Tsehay, and Didier Viodé.
What is a typical day in the studio like for you?
I need music to get in the zone, I usually listen to the same playlist over and over and I do start cleaning my brushes from the day before but jump into it right away.

What’s on your mind?
I am a 100 percent oil painter. I dont sketch or draw - I am interested in the paint application, mostly composition, texture and color is what drives the painting.
What’s your dream project?
Just painting Latinx family portraits in large scale. I hope to get featured in a Museum exhibition. I do hope to be in a public space in NY too. I am so grateful to my collectors, selling consistently is my ultimate goal.
Jessica lives and works in New York City, NY.
