“I AM INSPIRED BY NATURE, THE CLASSICAL ART SURROUNDING ME HERE IN FLORENCE, AND BY ARTISTIC MOVEMENTS OF THE FIRST PART OF THE 20TH CENTURY, SUCH AS CUBISM AND ART DECO.”
Jules Vissers is a Dutch artist living in Italy. Vissers translates an old tradition into modern artworks. Her art pays homage to nature using only natural yarns, and these are derived from recycled fibers. She has lived in Italy since 1998 and graduated "Cum Laude" in Art Textiles at the Florence Art Academy. Her tactile works are inspired by nature, art, and unique Florence’s cultural atmosphere, urban, and landscape, where she works and lives.
Vissers has a textile studio called Taftique in the city’s historical center. Here she creates hand-tufted and embroidered wall hangings and art textiles in the form of decorative cushions and centerpieces. She is very fond of some early 20th-century artistic movements, such as Cubism and Art Deco. Vissers
