About

Jake Paul White (born 1990, UK) is a British artist based in Bali, Indonesia. His intuitive works feature layered washes, soaks, stains, and pours of natural dyes and earth-derived pigments that bleed and blend, forming ethereal, translucent fields. Using materials such as indigo, clay, tea, rock pigment, and iron oxide, his paintings hover between abstraction and recognition. Delicate and quiet, they invite contemplation and emotional resonance.

White’s practice is rooted in sensitivity to materials and spiritual inquiry. Each canvas becomes a space of surrender, shaped by process rather than outcome. His approach honors the aliveness of natural pigments, allowing them to lead, spilling and pooling into soft, fluid landscapes. His works are not declarations. They are invitations to slow down, to feel, to remember.

White’s work is held in private collections around the world. In 2025, he will hold artist residencies at Cap Karoso in Sumba and MUSA in Mexico, presenting new series that explore elemental energies, emotional transience, and the alchemy of natural materials.

Through painting, White continues to honor his own journey. It is one of return, quiet reinvention, and deep listening. His work resists definition, and so does he. Like the quiet language of his canvases, he is not here to be understood. He is here to be felt.
