Dora Jeridi

Dora Jeridi creates paintings defined by bold energy and emotional intensity, where gesture and material converge to form compositions that seem to evolve independently. Her canvases resemble dynamic orchestrations of color and form, with fragmented figures and shapes emerging through layered, expressive brushwork. Working with oil, charcoal, and occasionally ballpoint or spray paint, she balances concealment and revelation, allowing forms to appear and dissolve across the surface. Jeridi’s work navigates the tension between figuration and abstraction, embracing contrasts in color, texture, and subject matter—from introspective stillness to explosive moments of movement and conflict. Her paintings evoke narratives that are both intimate and collective, enigmatic yet immediate, with figures whose anonymity gives them universal resonance. Through this approach, Jeridi invites viewers to inhabit spaces of ambiguity, engaging with works that resist definitive interpretation while offering profound emotional and conceptual depth. ...
