Artwork Description

Whatever it is you are looking for "you will find the answer inside" is the message of this painting. There is a joyful, playful sense of calmness in this painting, alongside many characters. So why monkeys? - Because they symbolize wisdom with a sense of humour towards life. And why tigers? - With their majestic appearance, they stand for dignity and strength. There are so much noise and distraction in the world around us. So every now and then it is good to return to ourselves inside and focus on what's important in life: Love, care, joy, health...And to create something we want in our lives we need to sense and visualize the little intangible ghost-like ideas around us to eventually turn them into reality. There are different levels of maturity, wisdom, naivety and innocence in the different characters. Some of the baby-characters have their eyes open with curiosity, as they don't know yet, however they watch and imitate and learn...

The artwork is currently on exhibition at The bowery, St Albans, shipping will be done on the 15th of March, I hope you understand.

Artist Bio

Jay has worked and studied for around thirteen years in different countries including Germany, the UK, Japan and Australia. Her range of expertise is varied and ranges from illustration and painting to animation film and large scale murals.

After winning several awards as a child & teenager Jay started her career at the age of 18 as an illustrator for one of Germany's leading book publishers; the storytelling side of her talent led her to enter into the world of animation two years later. She was fortunate to be able to specialise in the field of 2D hand-drawn animation in two of the most prolific places for this genre in the world - Tokyo and Bristol.

At the end of 2014, Jay's creative passion took her to Australia where she started to gain further experience in painting murals and large scale paintings. However, her artwork still retains a storytelling magical character to it.

Nowadays she specializes in mural painting in Melbourne and Victoria in general but always excited with any artwork in general, after all, the passion and curiosity remain intact.
