Dora Jeridi's work is characterized by a dynamic, expressive approach to painting, blending intense emotion with powerful physicality. She continuously adds to her compositions until they take on a spirit of their own, like painterly symphonies where fragmented forms emerge from a sea of expressive brushstrokes. Jeridi conceals and unveils her forms through the careful layering of various mediums: oil, charcoal, and occasionally ball-point pen or spray paint. Interested in the tension between figuration and abstraction, Jeridi's canvases are marked by a striking use of contrasts—chaotic colors, diverse textures, quiet and violent subjects—reflecting complexities of the human experience. Her paintings evoke narratives that are both enigmatic and visceral, autobiographical and societal, where her figures become universal in their anonymity. Jeridi encourages us to dwell in uncertainty, to explore the spaces where meaning remains both elusive and profound.
