Jesse Golfis lives through his art. It provides him with the space to be the version of himself he’d most like to see - the meditative, focused, energetic, driven, inspired, talented person that he is. Over the past few years, he’s spent time in Arizona, California, Chicago, and elsewhere, meeting people and uncovering his own creative evolution. He often refers to his exploration of “the connection between raw emotion and raw color,” which is a perfect paradigm for this artist. His expression is emphatic, colorful, and robust. His desire to grow is equally intense, and provides the mental landscape with which Jesse approaches his brilliant, harmonizing, and soothing artwork. His latest work has involved a foray into classic pop art via his Icon Series, in which Jesse maintains his vibrant approach to color, while depicting icons from various walks of life. The series has garnered widespread acclaim, further proving that this artist is truly that; he’s not tied to any specific mode, and he’s willing to push himself into to new creative spaces. His intention to always seek the next important bit of inspiration is what sets Jesse Andrew Golfis apart from other people. His art communicates via color and emotion, yet the Jesse’s steadfast attention to context and detail is what makes his work so personable and pleasurable. The value he places on karma, and finding a just place for himself in the world, is what makes drives Jesse’s personal and artistic growth, and it’s with that warmth that he intends to embrace a future filled with expression and exploration.
