Artworks by Jian Ma (Jane M.)

I am a contemporary oil painter whose work explores emotional architecture—the ways light, colour, and spatial relationships can carry traces of memory, silence, absence, and transition. My practice has developed through sustained independent studio research and professional studies in contemporary painting at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

In 2026, I was selected as a Finalist in the Visual Art Open’s Art Educator Category with “The Geometry of Silence – Chapter 01: Rooms of Light IV.” My painting “Fragments VII: Echo” was also selected for COUNTERFORM, a juried group exhibition at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati.

My broader body of work, The Geometry of Silence, brings together several interconnected series. On Artfinder, I present selected oil paintings from Rooms of Light, The Shape of Stillness, and Luminous Botanica. Through simplified geometry, luminous thresholds, restrained colour, negative space, and traces of layered paint, I create quiet visual environments in which viewers may encounter their own memories and emotions.

Every painting is a unique, hand-painted oil work created by me. I do not produce editions or reproductions.

The Fragments Monument series is represented exclusively by UGallery. Selected works from the related Fragments series are also presented through UGallery.
