Meet Artist Kirsten Jackson
The Joyful Artistry of Kirsten Jackson
In the vast world of art, there are creators who not only capture the essence of life but infuse it with boundless energy and joy. Kirsten Jackson, a fiercely independent Australian artist, is one such artist whose vibrant works seek to suffuse the whole world with radiant beacons of painted happiness.
Collectors from Europe, Hong Kong, and the United States have fallen in love with Kirsten's unique personality and spirited color palette, evident in her original paintings and prints. Her art has become a global phenomenon, with admirers around the world enchanted by the sheer exuberance emanating from each piece.
Kirsten's journey into the world of art began with a profound love for painting. A graduate in Visual Arts from RMIT, her career as an abstract artist was inspired by a lifelong passion for the craft. Her early series, "Faces," stands as a testament to her expressive style, depicting figurative portraits of her late mother. Kirsten believes that her mother's spirit continues to guide her in her artistic endeavors.
Working in impasto style with a variety of acrylic mediums, Kirsten creates textured masterpieces that are a true reflection of her vibrant spirit. Each stroke, each layer, is infused with a boundless energy and a joy for life that is unmistakably Kirsten. Her determination to exude shameless, infectious happiness through her art has made her a beloved fixture in the Australian art community.
"I build layer upon layer of texture, while the color carries emotion, capturing and reflecting light. It grows and grows until finally, it explodes in a vibrant visual delight," Kirsten explains about her creative process.
For Kirsten, painting is a meditative process, a positive outlet that allows her to center herself in the solitude of her studio. With little more than her canvas and paints, she creates works that project happiness not only upon the viewer but also onto herself. Her near finished works often find a temporary home in her own living space, where she communes with them for several weeks until satisfied that they are truly complete.
"It is an art in itself to know when the piece is complete," Kirsten muses, highlighting the nuanced aspect of her creative journey.
Kirsten's works have not only graced the glossy pages of prestigious magazines like Home Beautiful, Inside Out, Real Living, and Modern Home Magazine but have also been hand-selected to adorn the walls of Southbank's Aria Hotel. Her joy-sparking global journey continues with frequently sold-out shows in iconic cities such as New York, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Hamburg, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Brussels, Milan, Sydney, and her hometown of Melbourne.
"I want these works to emanate a constant pulse of joy to and for the viewer. Then I know my work is done," Kirsten expresses her ultimate artistic goal.
As admirers around the world seek to bring a piece of Kirsten's joy into their lives, the artist offers commissions and custom framing services. The opportunity to have a wall art creation that aligns with individual spaces allows art enthusiasts to immerse themselves fully in Kirsten's vibrant world.
