Jenna Von Benedikt's most recent body of work exemplifies why so many people choose to bring her pieces into their homes. The joy, elegance, and serenity of her paintings can transform any space into a sanctuary.
Collectors often comment that Jenna's paintings evoke memories of loved ones, or joyful experiences amongst hummingbirds and nature. Hummingbirds are not only symbolically significant for the artist herself (the name Jenna means "little bird"), but for many people around the world as well. They are seen as messengers between realms, and beings that bring good omens and comfort. With this symbology, it is easy to understand why so many are drawn to these paintings where these magical beings fly through the canvas.
Experience from one of our gallery Associates:
"I have had the pleasure of installing multiple pieces by Jenna into local homes in Santa Fe. When these works are brought into a room and hung in the perfect spot, I am amazed every time by the way her pieces can transform a space. The best way I can describe it is that it's like adding another window to a room, bringing a feeling of openness, movement, freshness, and peaceful joy."
While all of Jenna's work carries this theme of ethereal beauty and joy, each one tells a unique story via innovative compositions. Playing with warm and cool colors, and light and dark values, the artist uses sweeping brushstrokes and creates textures that help create a subtle narrative. Whether your space needs a little color or maybe a more contemporary high contrast piece with black and white shapes to catch the eye, Von Benedikt's range provides options to enhance any style of home.
When you spend time with a piece by any artist, you are not only experiencing what it brings up within yourself, but also getting to know something about the artist who spent the hours conceptualizing and bringing it to life. You have the chance to share something unspoken with another person.
"Like our lives often seem to be, hummingbirds, too, are fast paced and there is something beautiful in trying to seize their stillness and unique colorful qualities-- moments we often take for granted or miss within our own interactions with others." -Jenna Von Benedikt
