Abstraction nestled within the safe confines of natural form. That is how I would first attempt to describe the work of Jen Garrido. Other words come to mind as well: Layered. Exuberant. Colourful. Intuitive. Intentional. Unrestrained. Refined. Joyful.

I think you will see what I mean as you engage with her work.

There is a brilliant marriage here between chance and purpose; ambiguity and representation; dimension and colour. For me it feels as though all the sturm und drang of nature is revealed, uncovering the life and chaos, beauty and movement that exists just beneath the surface.

More than anything, there is for me a profound sense of being alive when I engage with Jen Garrido‘s arresting pieces.

What do Jen’s beautiful paintings awaken in you?

Wishing you an inspired Monday.
