Jacoba Ignacio is a French-Spanish artist, born in Paris in 1968. Trained at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, she exhibits in France and abroad. Her evolving work often goes beyond traditional media to directly address space.
Her installations explore perception and spatial relationships, questioning how the work interacts with the viewer. Frequently working in situ, she uses tape as a tool for imaginary mapping. Colored lines trace fragmented paths, connect points of tension, reshape space, and suggest new ways for the gaze and body to move through the environment.
Her compositions play with balance, perspective, and form. Sometimes, figures like chimeras or playful beings appear at the boundary between reality and imagination. Ribbons, threads, wooden sticks, objects, and painted or drawn surfaces come together to create a space of emptiness and possibility.
Jacoba Ignacio invites us to wander—where each line, each shape, each situation becomes the beginning of a story to be reinvented.
