Contemporary Figurative Art

JOMAD is known for paintings in which the human figure emerges within richly constructed environments of floral forms, layered colour, and rhythmic pattern. Her works balance intimacy and scale, transforming the painted space into a place of reflection, presence, and transformation. Rather than serving as decoration, these visual elements become symbolic fields shaped by lived experience and inner life.

Distinctive Visual Language

Her work is marked by a strong sense of structure, repetition, and spatial balance, reflecting an architectural approach to composition. This combination of formal clarity and emotional intensity gives JOMAD a distinctive voice within contemporary figurative painting, where body and environment remain inseparable.

Painting, Ceramics, and Public Practice

Alongside painting, JOMAD develops ceramic works and public interventions that expand her visual language across media. Her ceramics introduce a compelling dialogue between figuration, memory, and graphic symbolism, while her wider practice reflects an ongoing engagement with space, community, and visual storytelling.

Selected Exhibitions

Notable presentations include Parade at OBRA in Paris in 2024 and La Vie en Rose at OOA Gallery in 2025. Through exhibitions in France and Spain, as well as public projects, JOMAD continues to build a distinctive practice within the contemporary art landscape.
