Goonjan Jain

Goonjan Jain is a talented artist from Mumbai, India, whose creative journey began in 2009, with her first exhibition debuting in 2018. She primarily works with acrylic paints, using them to explore the beauty of nature and life’s vivid colors. Goonjan’s unique style revolves around the intricate use of circles, each piece composed of an infinite number of these forms, layered to create texture, depth, and a sense of unity. Her work plays with both vibrant colors and monochrome tones, resulting in a harmonious balance that evokes joy, positivity, and introspection.

Inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s quote, “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart,” Goonjan approaches each piece with authenticity and a desire to connect with viewers on an emotional level. She believes in the power of art to evoke a smile and bring a sense of peace, even while recognizing that art is subjective and not everyone will connect with it in the same way.

Her most unusual source of inspiration is the circle itself, a timeless symbol of infinity and equality. Through countless circles, she creates mesmerizing bokeh effects, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the layers of her compositions. This fascination with circles fuels her ongoing exploration of harmony and balance in life.

Among her most challenging works is ‘Circles of Tranquility,’ where she had to perfect her technique of layering circles in different shades to achieve the depth and harmony she sought. Every piece she creates feels challenging at the start, but through the process, she refines her technique and grows as an artist.Goonjan’s advice to emerging artists is to create work that satisfies their own vision while being open to feedback from experts. Balancing personal creativity with outside perspectives can lead to continuous growth and improvement in the artistic journey.
