Meet the Artist
Artist Biography:
Jigna Patel is a Chicago-based contemporary abstract artist whose path to painting has been deeply shaped by nature and its connection to spirituality. Originally from England, she first explored art and textile design during her GCSE studies before choosing a career in clinical pharmacy. After 16 years in organ transplant and critical care, including eight years painting part-time for collectors around the world, Jigna transitioned fully into art—channeling her healing energy through canvas instead of medicine. Her return to painting began as a creative outlet after the birth of her second child and soon evolved into a passion for mixed media, including resin, inks, and oils. Today, her work is rooted in organic abstract expressionism and guided by a desire to inspire, empower, and uplift through color, texture, and movement.
Artist Statement:
My passion is creating textured and sculpted subjects of nature on an abstract expressive background. The juxtaposition of a dreamlike backdrop on a rough, textured, almost tangible physical subject allows both to be part of the story. It is an exploration of our presence both in the physical material world and a spiritual realm we rarely focus on when we do not have a continuous practice...but is always there.
With this process, I hope to inspire people in their own spaces, to recognize their own strengths, their power and resilience. I hope to give them the spiritual connection to the Source of Creation without any specific religious motifs, but instead to recognize that Divine within themselves.
My art is an offering—born from a sacred place where emotion, energy, and spirit converge. I paint intuitively to express the unseen: messages of hope, resilience, empowerment, and love. Guided by my spiritual journey and the rhythms of nature, each piece unfolds in layers of texture, fluid movement, and light—enforcing themes of cycles of renewal, transformation, and inner awakening. Using diverse materials and unconventional tools, I push the boundaries of flow and depth to reflect my lifelong mantra: always look for the glimmers and light in life. These paintings are portals—for reflection, upliftment and soulful connection with something greater.
Jigna works with her private and commercial clients, and interior designers to create the perfect bespoke piece that can elevate the aura in any space.
