Michelle Jezierski (b. Berlin, 1981) is a Berlin-born American artist whose paintings explore the interplay of light, space, and form. Educated at the Berlin University of the Arts under Tony Cragg and Valérie Favre, she creates works that merge natural landscapes with architectural geometries. Her art balances opposites like order and chaos, light and shadow, through vibrant color and layered textures. Each piece reflects a deep engagement with memory, emotion, and the dynamic perception of space.
