Artist Talk: Azize Ferizi
Azize Ferizi is one of the participating artists in the exhibition Make me coffee make me a sandwich. You will be able to understand more about the concept of her work for this exhibition during the talk, as well as about her artistic practice in general.
Azize Ferizi (1996) works and lives in Geneva where she’s completing her master degree at the HEAD fine arts-Geneva. Ferizi grew up between Switzerland and Kosovo, where her parents originated from.
Through my pictorial practice, I paint mainly women in domestic spaces. I recreate real or fictional scenes inspired by my daily life. My patterns are constructed from images taken from both my personal experience and the popular culture that surrounds me. Often disproportionate, the women I paint take on the status of titans or heroines. They are giants.
She showed her work in a Solo Show SIS IS HARDCORE, Cherish, Geneva (2020), and in group shows as Nour El Ain, Karma International, Zürich (2021), Weaving Home, Limbo, Geneva (2020) and Nouveaux Sacrés, Voiture 14, Marseille (2019). She’s the laureat of the Ducastel Prize 2020 and The Theodore Stravinsky Prize 2021.
