Jessica Ticchio is reimagining the world through a contemporary art lens. Through Digital Art and Experiential Design, her creativity exists in the space between digital and physical, exploring how the two realms can exist in harmony. Playing with the line between real and surreal, she is inspired by the dreamstate, distortions of reality, grandious European architecture and sculptural forms seen in nature and everyday life. Her creative explorations transcend a variety of mediums, coming to life through 3D, AI and VR sculpture in her personal art practice, and the design of real-world immersive experiential spaces as the Creative Director of Studio Messa.
With visions of boundless dreamscapes and gravity-defying sculpture, Jessica’s creative practice aims to evoke intrigue and reflection, whilst bending the concept of reality as we know it. She draws on the personal experience of her Australian-Italian heritage to create compositions that blend & fuse a myriad of cultural influence; utopian spaces that feel non-specific to a single place in our recognisable world.
AS AN ARTIST:
Jessica’s 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, the 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’ in Paris, and has collaborated with brands such as Mecca, Logitech, Microsoft, Samsung and OPI.
IN CREATIVE DIRECTION & DESIGN:
Jessica has been in the creative industry since 2010, working globally closely with the world’s leading luxury and lifestyle brands including Nike, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Bulgari, Issey Miyake, Tiffany & Co., Coach, NBA, Kia, Vogue, Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, American Express and many more.
