About

Jadyn Veronika Bennett is a self-taught abstract painter whose work is an intimate excavation of identity, emotion, and the human condition. Born in post-Soviet Romania, she and her sister were orphaned young, moving through Eastern European institutions where stability was scarce and adaptation was a necessity. At thirteen, she was adopted into a new home in Georgia, but art had always been her refuge a place where she could carve out identity in the midst of change.

Her paintings are raw and instinctive, layered in bold colors, intricate textures, and gestural brushstrokes that pulse with movement and tension. Each piece resists resolution, existing in a state of perpetual discovery—unfinished, evolving, alive. Her process is deeply intuitive, shaped by a resistance to finality; she often abandons paintings, allowing them to linger in limbo, where meaning can shift over time. Yet within this uncertainty, there’s an undeniable honesty. Influenced by her past and the unfiltered creativity of her young niece and nephew, her paintings blend personal history with impulsive mark-making, embracing imperfection as part of their truth. Hers is a practice of rediscovery, both for herself and the viewer, where every layer speaks to the restless, searching nature of the human experience.
