Hi I am Jivar
There was a time when I moved through the world without truly seeing it.
Life meant motion, always forward, always achieving. I measured meaning in progress, in productivity, in the body’s ability to respond to will.
But life has a way of unraveling what we think we know.
When I became paralyzed due to multiple sclerosis, everything I once relied on fell away. I had to relearn how to walk. And in that stillness, not chosen, but imposed, I was forced to stop. To feel. To surrender.
At first, I resisted. I feared the silence. But slowly, the silence spoke.
As I surrendered, the world became louder. Colors deepened.
Time stretched.
The air carried whispers I had never noticed before.
That’s when painting became my temple , a sacred space where I could feel everything I didn’t have words for.
I create surreal, symbolic worlds full of bold color and deep emotion, where every piece is an invitation to slow down, feel, and reconnect.
Thank you for being here.
