Jian Mahony

I’m an artist living on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I work in several mediums. Sculpture, painting, ceramics, and photography.
I was born to an English father and Chinese-Malaysian mother, and spent my childhood travelling throughout Europe and Asia. As well as being influenced by my environment; my memories of the past and what innately lies within me, infuse and reflect my work.
I strive to capture the essence of the subject and combine abstract concepts with ‘moments in life’.
The use of narrative is evident in my works, evoking a mood to each art piece. I like to portray a sense of drama, be it subtle or strong, ancient or present, a cultural mix – a hybrid of all.
