About the Artist

Hi, I’m Jiahn, the artist behind  KangJiahn Studio. 

I’m a visual artist inspired by the beauty and colors of nature. I’m drawn to its whimsical scenes, yet I also enjoy painting still life, finding joy in observing the delicate details of everyday moments. My curiosity extends beyond nature’s forms to the intricacies of human thought, fueling my artistic exploration.

I primarily work with acrylics and 3D mediums like acrylic gel and heavy texture pastes to bring depth to my pieces. While acrylic is my primary medium,  I occasionally experiment with oil and watercolor for a change of pace.

Currently, I live and work in the Triangle area after moving from NYC at the end of 2019 —and I’ve completely fallen in love with North Carolina!  Through my work, I hope to offer a moment of pause,  a gentle reminder to appreciate the present.

I'm grateful to share my work with the world and to hear how it resonates with others. I look forward to connecting with you!

Fun fact: Before transitioning to fine art, I was a cake designer in NYC for six years. Now, I bring that same intricate craftsmanship into my paintings,  blending texture and form in various ways.
