Jillian Zepeda

Jillian Zepeda is a Dallas-based Artist who fuses realism and abstraction in her work. Her work revolves around the human form and relationships. Her work starts with a theme and a series of short stories before it gets translated onto the canvas.

Jillian refers to her work as “Abstract from Realism” because she always uses reference photos of people and the human form. Even though her work is very abstract it always starts as realism but then it morphs into shapes and abstraction. Jillian always paints in collections; very rarely does she do a one-off painting. She paints in collections because each collection is a theme, and each painting is a story within that theme

Jillian's mission is a creative expression of heartfelt stories through abstract painting. It is the portrayal of relationships and human emotions that can be portrayed through color, form, and texture. The stories and emotions painted reflect stories that we have all experienced.
