Ghost&Flower

The art, music and life of Jesse Narens

Experience beauty, encounter randomness & chaos (change) with open arms and become more connected with nature and the collective universe. These desires of mine are all exemplified through my paintings and symbols I use. The concepts in each finished piece are not preconceived, but rather manifestations of thoughts from within. Whether they are philosophical ideas I wish to express, or imaginary places I wish I could visit.
