Jessica Wong is a Miami-based visual artist whose contemporary portraiture examines identity, interiority, and the nuanced experience of black life. Her paintings function as both visual studies and emotional inquiries, centering human expression as the core of her practice.

Through bold chromatic choices and layered surfaces, Wong constructs portraits that balance vibrancy with depth. Color operates symbolically and atmospherically, heightening psychological tone while maintaining intimacy. By foregrounding Black subjects as sites of reverence rather than spectacle, her work speaks to complexity, tenderness, resilience, and embodied presence.

Her compositions blend realism with restrained stylization, creating work that feels immediate yet contemplative. Each piece invites stillness,  asking the viewer not simply to observe, but to feel.
