The reason why this painting by @jonenigmajaylo works - beyond its aesthetic beauty - is because it reflects the real-world contemplations that form the tapestry of his own life. He weaves time and a sense of seizing every moment into many of his visual compositions. This piece further explores dream-chasing, fulfillment, and recognizing that marching to the beat of your own drum - especially in pursuit of a unique visual aesthetic - is worth every nanosecond. 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Title: "Zenith of Enlightenment" Artist: Jon Jaylo (@jonenigmajaylo) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 3ft x 5ft (91.44cm x 152.4cm) Year: 2020 Artist's Website: https://ift.tt/22lvcXU ••• posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CShXgyUFJKz/

ALLUVION by #JonJaylo (@jonenigmajaylo | 2017, Oil on Canvas) for his solo exhibition To End Echo at @beinartgallery March 11, 2017 #BetweenMirrors (at BeinArt Gallery)

"Understanding The Gravity Of Every Second"depicts Jon Jaylo's (@jonenigmajaylo) son, @rossjaylo - who is also a painter! - contemplating if he's squeezing the most out of the time that he has. It was inspired by an ongoing dialog that they had about how all of us live on borrowed time. Jon repeatedly stressed how important it is to make the most of the precious moments that we have. "Although my advice may seem somewhat negative," Jon says, "it actually inspired Ross to appreciate life more on a daily basis." He knew that their discussions truly made an impact when Ross asked why some people complained about being bored when there is so much to do in a day. 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Title: "Understanding The Gravity Of Every Second" Artist: Jon Jaylo (@jonenigmajaylo) Muse: @rossjaylo Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 38 in x 36 in Year: 2015 Artist's Website: https://ift.tt/22lvcXU ••• posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CQoxkIZL19q/

The muse in this painting by Jon Jaylo (@jonenigmajaylo) is his son, @rave_jaylo. The title “Alluvion” refers to tides or currents helping to form new land. Jon offers deeper insight into the rich symbolism of this work of art which was exhibited at his first @beinartgallery solo exhibition in 2017: “I began talking to my son Rave at a very young age about how life challenges can make a person strong. Instead of complaining, we can find a way to overcome difficulties and learn from them. I depicted Rave slowly morphing into a crown-like splash of water with a Betta sailing through. That ‘fighting fish’ is symbolic of what we must do in this life to overcome obstacles. My painting also pays tribute to one of Bruce Lee's most powerful philosophies.” Be Water, My Friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. ~Bruce Lee 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Title: "Alluvion" Artist: Jon Jaylo (@jonenigmajaylo) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 36 in x 48 in Muse: Rave Jaylo (@rave_jaylo) Year: 2017 Artist's Website: https://ift.tt/22lvcXU ••• posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/COsGsUbLJIq/
