Jhonpierre

Jhonpierre has been making art for about 10 years, but it wasn’t always the style he’s recognized for today. Much of his early creations are unique, but the characters and symbols prominent in his work today were then scrawled on the back as a type of signature. He often spent more time burning symbols into the wood frame than he did working on the canvas.

Jhonpierre’s work has evolved into a series of interconnected symbol patterns, like sacred geometry. He realized what used to be a personal reference could actually work better on the front of the canvas.

Jhonpierre is deliberate about his work and wishes nothing more than for his art to last long after he’s gone.

The simplest explanation is that Jhonpierre isn’t actually the one creating, he’s channeling a stream of energy. Call it the universe, or a higher power, but Jhonpierre makes it clear that his creations aren’t completely up to him. They are rather decided by this outer source of inspiration.

Jhonpierre confesses a fear that any painting could possibly be his last time standing at the canvas, but he would rather die before abandoning his passion for making.

What frightens Jhonpierre most is beyond death. The scariest possibility is that he never made a mark, that he won’t be able to live on through his work. He’d want someone to come across his work in the future, and he’d be satisfied if the only message they received was that someone created while they had the time.
