Jen Duran

Jen Duran is a California-based abstract-realist painter whose work blends expressive abstraction with the detail and structure of realism. Working primarily in watercolor, acrylic, and ink, she explores themes of self-discovery, freedom, transformation, and authentic expression.
Duran studied at Otis College of Art and Design and has spent more than a decade developing her distinctive style. Her work combines fluid washes, expressive marks, and layered color with figurative subjects, wildlife, and elements of nature.
Balancing control with spontaneity, Duran allows each piece to evolve organically, creating artwork intended to capture something felt rather than simply seen.
