Joanna Beckett

Joanna Beckett, a painter driven by the raw power of artistic exploration, began her journey in the realm of psychology. This foundation allowed her to delve deeply into the tapestry of human experience, examining the self, others, and the world. As an abstract painter, Joanna's work is an exploration of the dialogues between stillness and movement, boldness and vulnerability, emotion and perception. Her narrative is embedded in the essence of the human experience, which she now studies through a liminal lens, using her unique visual vocabulary.
Joanna's creative process is intuitive. Although she begins with a plan, the final brushstrokes that complete the painting are instinctively made. The tactile quality of her work is paramount, with each layer meticulously built to engage both the senses and the soul. Each piece is a meditation on the interplay of textures and tones, with a focus on stripping color down to its bare essentials to uncover the raw beauty and poetic drama inherent in simplicity.
Joanna's art serves as a testament to the power of collective emotions—energy in motion, born from shared experiences. Her work is about finding meaning in minimalism and strength in monochrome. Every piece invites viewers to see beyond ...

Self-taught Artist: Education for Joanna has always been about observing rather than following a traditional path.
"There are countless theories, models, concepts, and frameworks—all are human constructs. At its finest, art exists beyond them all. It is transcendental."
