J. Kesin, a contemporary German artist, embarks on an artistic journey through his unique perception of the world. His body of work comes to life through adept use of layers, colour, and form.

Kesin's artistic expression encompasses a diverse palette, exploring subjects that range from personal reflections to sociocultural musings and abstract concepts. What sets his art apart is the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct these diverse themes, weaving them into an interplay of visual elements.

Subjects are often divided into 'components,' each connected to different aspects such as points in time, protagonists, emotions, or the physical world. These components are then represented on the canvas through layers. His artistic process involves a blend of analysis, emotion, and spontaneity—a continuous dialogue with the evolving painting. This approach results in a rich tapestry of visual storytelling that invites viewers to look for their own personal interpretation within the artwork.

Kesin's influences encompass the era of early abstraction, particularly analytical cubism with its notion of simultaneity, and the epistemological stance of radical constructivism. These influences converge with Hodgkin's 'associative abstraction,' contributing to Kesin's distinctive personal style and approach to his work.

Kesin's life, marked by a spirit of exploration, took him from Germany to the UK, Spain, Russia, and Uzbekistan. Engaging in self-taught artistic studies and earning a degree in cultural studies enriched his perspective. His artistic development flourished under the guidance of lecturer and artist Sibylle Werkmeister, refining his sensibilities and providing the skills to further elevate his craft.

He has exhibited in galleries and public spaces in Spain, and his works form part of private and institutional collections throughout Europe.
