The JESS3 team loves artists. Their pioneering spirit, the narratives that are contained within their work, and the sheer beauty of what they do. This week, we’re paying special attention to Jean Paul Mallozzi.

Born and raised in Queens NYC, Mallozzi graduated with B.F.A in Illustration from the Rhode Island School Of Design (RISD). His work balances carefully rendered figures with abstract splashes of color. He feels that, though emotions are intangibles, they evoke a color and a vibration that physically resonates within people. Check it out!
