Inspired by minimalism, surrealism and ubiquitous sculptural forms, Jessica Ticchio is reimagining the world through a contemporary art lens. Through 3D Art and Experiential Design, Jessica’s creativity exists in the space between digital and physical. She explores how the two realms can exist in harmony, her work often playing with the line between the real and surreal. Her creative explorations transcend a variety of mediums, coming to life through digital, print and VR sculpture in her personal art practice, and the design of real-world immersive experiential spaces at Studio Messa.
With visions of boundless dreamscapes and gravity-defying sculptures, Jessica’s creative practice aims to evoke intrigue and reflection, whilst bending the concept of reality as we know it. Her artworks have been featured across the globe; from the pages of Vogue Magazine to the gallery walls of Shanghai’s Modern Art Museum, Art Angels Gallery LA, Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum and Prague’s first NFT art gallery ‘Cryptoportal’. In 2023, Jessica’s artwork “Future Of The Past” appeared on two large-scale digital billboards: the Vérone Building Façade in Paris and in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, on a screen spanning 72 metres wide (one of the largest digital billboards in the world). In 2024, Jessica was nominated for the Créateurs Design Award for ‘Excellence in Digital Art’.
Jessica has been in the creative industry since 2010, working closely with the world’s leading luxury and lifestyle brands including Nike, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Vogue (Australia, China and Global), Chanel, Issey Miyake, Bulgari, Moët & Chandon, Coach, NBA, Hennessy, Kia, American Express, Mecca, O.P.I. and many more.
