Text



For Art-o-rama 2025, Windhager von Kaenel proposes a solo booth by Swiss-Kosovan artist Azize Ferizi, born in Fribourg, Switzerland (1996), who lives and works in Geneva and Paris.

Ferizi will present a new series of paintings that delve into the nude and the fragmented body as sites of introspection, tension, and intimacy. Her work approaches the body not as a fixed form but as a fluid motif—often suspended between figuration and abstraction—inviting questions around vulnerability, perception, and representation. With bold yet nuanced gestures, Ferizi explores how corporeality intersects with emotion, identity, and the act of looking.

About the artist



Azize Ferizi, *1996 in Fribourg (CH), is a Swiss-Kosovan visual artist living and working in Geneva and Paris.

Ferizi's artistic focus centers on the meticulous depiction of figurative bodies, often placed within constrained frames or poses, with a predominant emphasis on feminine forms. Continually contemplating questions of size and format as potent physical forces, she adeptly represents bodies that occasionally find themselves awkwardly imposed in the social space, predestining their roles in harmony with the canvas itself.


In recent developments, Azize Ferizi has expanded her artistic repertoire by venturing into the realm of sculpture. Breaking free from the confines of the frame has allowed Ferizi to employ the canvas as a material for shaping bodies. This innovative approach has allowed her to explore three-dimensional space, facilitating the creation of intricate narratives.


Recent exhibitions include: Spring/Summer 25, Kunsthalle Fri Art, Fribourg, 2025 (CH); Musical Chair, ExoExo, Paris, 2024 (FR); Redemption Request I, Ilenia London, London, 2023 (UK); Changing Rooms, Lovay Fine Arts, Geneva, 2023 (CH); SIS IS HARDCORE, Cherish, Geneva, 2020 (CH).


Azize Ferizi is the laureate of the Kiefer Hablitzel Göhner Art Prize, 2022; the Théodore Stravinsky Prize, 2021; and the Ducastel Prize, 2020. Her work is part of the collection of MAMCO, Geneva, 2023.
