Jesuuna creates oil paintings that express her intimate relationship with nature into visual symphonies. Her paintings are sensual, graceful, and evocative—their soft, essential forms enveloping viewers in intimate contemplation and inviting them to discover romance in the everyday.
Jesuuna explores her fascination with curves, spirals, and their geometric relationships, by creating fantastical and surreal arrangements that honor nature's cyclical rhythms. She is drawn to nature's more enigmatic forms—bones, stones, orchids, clouds—as she is entranced by their quiet intensity and unexpected absurdity.
Her background in classical music influences her work—there's an inherent musicality to her process, where color harmonies and compositional rhythms echo the natural world's sonic landscape.
Her work functions as a form of diaristic narration, allowing her to transform memories and fleeting emotions into paintings that embody the depths of human experience—moments that feel both dreamlike and devastatingly real. Jesuuna’s work encourages viewers to slow down and attune themselves to the poetry that surrounds us, transforming ordinary encounters into extraordinary sensory experiences.
jesuuna began interruptions, a series of artistic events that disrupt the monotony of the everyday. Interruptions prompt both the artists and audience to engage with practising, improvisation, and creative output as part of the natural ritual of life.
Currently in Brooklyn, jesuuna is formulating a sound project to understand her relationship with music and painting. She is the culmination of her parents—her artist father and her piano teacher mother.
Jesuuna studied Architecture at UC Berkeley, which greatly influences her work. Her experience as a designer influences her work principles and personal philosophies.
jesuuna is on Instagram, Youtube, and Soundcloud, and is reachable via email as well.
