Jessica Oliveras was born in 1991 in a small town near Barcelona, Spain. As her father is a painter and her mother an art books director, she grew up surrounded by paintings and in the company of Artists and Arts Collectors. Her love of Art started at an early age when her father’s paintings became both a reference and a source of artistic inspiration for her.
Jessica went on to develop a passion for romantic painters such as Delacroix, Girodet, and Marià Fortuny. She was particularly drawn to their exotic subjects, the exaggerated emotionalism and drama, and the orientalism which has inspired her own work. Later she became fascinated by the light used by painters such as Turner and Sorolla, having a strong influence on the use of lights in her own paintings.

Jessica started to paint professionally in London, where she lived for eight years. Recently she moved to Spain in a search to reconnect with her roots. She currently works and resides near Barcelona.
