Jess Elliott - Abstract Artist | Oil & Cold Wax Paintings

Jess Elliott is an abstract artist based in Oxfordshire, England. Working primarily with oil and cold wax, she creates richly coloured and textured paintings that explore the depths of the subconscious and the complexities of the human mind. Largely self-taught, Elliott began her full-time artistic practice in 2024, developing a distinctive visual language rooted in intuition, emotion, and material exploration. Her paintings are built through a process of layering, scraping back, and revealing. A physical dialogue that mirrors the layered nature of memory and thought. Through this approach, Elliott seeks to uncover ‘What lies beneath,’ using the materiality of paint itself as a metaphor for the shifting states of consciousness. Working from her home studio, she continues to push the boundaries between control and spontaneity, embracing both the chaos and calm that emerge in the

act of creation.
