Hello, I’m Jay Arana, an abstract artist based in Mijas Pueblo, Spain. I create in that special place where the air and the energy of the mountains and the sea collide.
My art is created and draws from the many insights gained through meditation and life experience. For me it is a deeply spiritual process to capture the emotions, beauty, ageing and sensations of life we all experience and to give them a voice through texture, colour and form. My aim is to create a snapshot of time in each work but also in such a way that they will continue to age, change, degrade, vibrate and teach.
When not painting, I am playing and writing music, playing Tai Chi and meditation, or hiking with my dog on a high mountain trail.
