Francesca Giovanna Jacquier Bozzo, known as Gio, is a visual artist of Italian origin based in Geneva. Trained in photography at the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL), she initially pursued a career in the watchmaking industry before making a decisive shift in 2019, placing her personal artistic practice back at the center of her life.
Today, she devotes most of her time to a multidisciplinary practice at the crossroads of painting, photography, and textiles.For Gio, color is a language. Instinctive, sensory, almost meditative, her research explores chromatic resonances as a way of reintroducing light, softness, and beauty into a world she often perceives as marked by harshness.
Her work is rooted in a tension between density and transparency, balance and disorder, controlled gesture and chance. She composes her works using a variety of materials such as pigments, threads, glass, and resin, assembling and layering them like fragments of emotion organized in space.
Each series she produces represents a stage in her exploration of the relationship between memory, matter, and perception. In Paradiso, Gio summons the light and colors of the Italian landscapes of her childhood. Compositions of structured threads convey memories transformed by time, forming an abstract memory where the personal meets the collective.With Biomorphism, she draws inspiration from the forms and rhythms of the living world, seeking to restore the beauty of nature through an organic painting in which texture becomes relief and light takes on an active role.Finally, in Fluides, the artist allows color to move freely. Pigments, released from all constraint, blend in a gesture akin to dance. This series, recently extended by Aura, celebrates light as a vital energy and a principle of regeneration and hope.Across all of her projects, Gio develops a visual language she readily describes as a formal gesture, in which color acts as a driving force. Her work, both intuitive and controlled, offers a form of poetic resistance to the brutality of reality and an invitation to look differently, to feel before understanding.
